A single program can do more than one thing at once and each 'thing' is a thread. Most applications are single threaded meaning there is only ever one point of execution. A multi-threaded process can have multiple points of execution and thus does several things at once. http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue23/flower/threads.html > Can we use the same terminology in Windows and Linux ? Yes. In fact I believe that the terms are synonymous across all platforms. -- Andrue Cope [Bicester UK]
