That was my thought as well, the information I had was that there was native support 
in the framework which I have never seen. I am thinking that playing with Fibers in 
DOTNET would not be a good thing...

It sounds like Green Threads are equivalent to fibers. And I am not aware of any 
support other than through P/Invoke in .NET. Am I missing the point?

Subject: [DOTNET] Green thread support

I have been advised today that DOTNET has support for what Java guys refer to as Green 
Threads, threads that are managed by the application not by the os. No context 
switching.... do a search on google if you want the full explanation. Anyhow I do not 
know of any such support and cannot see anything suggesting this sort of support in 
dotnet... Does anyone know of any such support. I do not see this being thread 
pooling, managed threads to my knowledge as they are os related in the current version 
at least.
