+This is Chris Provenzano's MIT Pthreads library.
+
+Pthreads stands for POSIX threads and is based on the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 
+thread standard. This standard passed international Standards Organization 
+(ISO) Committee Document (CD) balloting in February 1995 and got the 
+IEEE Standards Board approval in June 1995.
