Portable Threads: portable POSIX/ANSI-C library for Unix gives non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multithreading in programs. All threads run in same address space, each has its own program counter, run time stack, signal mask, errno variable; cooperative scheduling: threads dispatched based on priority, pending events.
