That PalmOS has native threads and such doesn't change the fact that threads are neither supported nor recommended for user space.
What Dmitry is saying is that Palm/Access knows very well how to use their own native resources. And, a select few people outside Palm/Access know about them, too. The rest of us mere mortals remain in the dark. With all due respect, I suggest you not tease us with proprietary info that will remain your own little secret. That is what I hear you saying. If I'm wrong, then please correct me. In fact, I'd welcome being wrong about threads. If they can be made available to the unwashed, then please enlighten us.
