  1. This folder contains the items necessary to utilize the Thread Manager with
  2. CFM-68k.  Place ThreadLib in your "{MPW}Libraries:SharedLibraries:" folder.
  3. NuThreadsLib.slb goes in your "{SystemFolder}Extensions:" folder.  For an
  4. example see the enclosed sample ThreadedSort.  This sample application has been
  5. changed to be compiled for CFM-68k and PowerPC.
  6.  
  7. Use this Threads.h file if you plan to use the Thread Manager with CFM-68k.  This
  8. header file has been updated to supply the Thread Manager with UniversalProcPtrs
  9. instead of ProcPtrs.  This header file is a prerelease version and hasn't had
  10. extensive testing.  It should be completely compatible with both classic 68k
  11. and PowerPC builds.
  12.  
  13. A caveat: Current source will need to be modified if CFM-68k support is required.
  14.  
  15. An example of the type of changes necessary appear below.  It is a snippit of code
  16. from SortPictThreads.cp, a Thread Manager Example program.  These changes are necessary
  17. because CFM-68k requires the use of UniversalProcPtrs and Routine Descriptors and Classic
  18. 68k and PowerPC don't.
