I haven't actually got around to using it with AOLserver myself yet,
but libthread (AKA the Tcl Threads Extension) is reportedly fully
backwards compatible with but superior to the native AOLserver thread
and nsv implementations. This is good stuff, its extended nsv/tsv API
is definitely more powerful than the older AOLserver equivalents. And
its
nice that it works
both in AOLserver and in
tclsh.
The Thread Extension's primary author,
Zoran,
uses it extensively with both AOLserver and tclsh, so installing it
for use with AOLserver should be trivial.
I suggested in Dec. 2004
that AOLserver ship stock with the Tcl Threads Extension, but so far
that's been basically ignored.
