If you need threads, I'd suggest you take a look at Dan Nagle's

Yup, I know about threads (we were using them back in the 70's
at Xerox PARC). And as I mentioned in my first email, I can setup
critical sections and use globals as a less than wonderful work around.
But it makes it difficult to setup dynamic libraries.
One of the nice things about the fortan standard is that it leaves room
for compiler builders to be creative and go beyond the basic standard.
That's what Intel has done in this case, and that's what I'm still
hoping you will decide to do also.
