Never mind...I just searched the archive and I'm not the first to go down
this dead-end road.

Rob, I know this pot has been stirred in the past, but it SURE would be 
nice if Euphoria had thread support.  How about creating a separate 
experimental version of Eu that supports threads that we could all "test"
for you?  I'm not saying that I would quit using Eu if it didn't have
threads, but my software suffers in some isolated circumstances BECAUSE
it doesn't have threads.
