Threads also work with SGI IRIX 4 and 5 (if that platform is still
worth considering).
Tim Peters did a pthreads version of the thread.c file which will be
in 1.1 (out really soon now). I had some trouble getting it to work
under SunOS 4.1.3 (Tim's port was for a KSR machine with a pthread
version based on a lightly different draft) but that's probably mostly
my own lack of knowledge anout pthreads.

There's a full Sun RPC interface somewhere in the Demo directory
(Demo/rpc?) and a few other RPC like things elsewhere in the Demo dir.
