Sun has been sort of strange about the Native Threads pack.
Sometimes it has not been on the their site for a few weeks.

Matters are complicatd by the fact that Sun has two JDK releases 
There are two versions of the JDK:
* The production release
  -Shipped as a Solaris package
  -Requires root to install it
  -Basically only one production JDK can be installed on a machine.
   (There might be a way around this, but it would be a hack
  -Includes native thread support
  -Includes a JIT
* The reference release
  -Shipped as a tar file
  -Can be installed by anyone
  -Multiple versions can be installed
  -Native thread support is usually an optional download
  -Does not include a JIT 

My guess is that some marketeer could not bear to call the reference
release a developer's release like most normal people would :-)
The same marketeer probably decide to rename JDK1.2 after it was
released to Java 2 :-)

Try searching www.javasoft.com for 'Native Threads' and see what
you can scare up.

For JDK1.1.8 Reference release, you can download the Native threads
pack via
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/download-jdk-solaris.html

--start--
4. Download Solaris Native Threads Pack (Optional) 

          Please note, you will need to install either the Solaris JDK
          software or the JRE first. 

          This free software contains native thread support for
          Solaris. Requires Solaris 2.6 or
          Solaris 2.5.1 with two patches installed or Solaris 7. 
--end--

You could try downloading JDK1.2.1 and seeing if it includes a
native_threads directory

Locally, we installed JDK1.2.1 in /opt, and the following directory
is present
/opt/jdk1.2.1/jre/lib/sparc/native_threads

    The TclBlend README conatins the following:
    To build Tcl Blend on Solaris the Native Threads Pack, and
    several patches, must be installed on top of the JDK.  The
    package, necessary patches, and installation instructions can
    be found at http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/index.html.
    
    I cannot seem to find this information at the URL specified.
    What am I missing?
