The code in current threading extension, implementing the thread shared variables (aka nsv_*) has already all compatibility wrappers built in. One can compile the Tcl threading extension for AOLserver and this will turn on the compatibility wappers automatically (beside providing a very nice thread-abstraction in addition). The tsv::* differs from the original nsv in terms of much larger command set, built-in shared Tcl objects and other goodies, while maintaining the backward compatibility. I have no external-defined C-API but I can refactor to code a little. This would be no problem at all. I would say, one could take this into consideration for one of the next releases. Cheers Zoran
