I could see multithreading support in 7-zip.
but then again files aren't usually very big in DOS. I don't know if
OpenWATCOM or DJGPP has support for POSIX threads.
C++ is getting a makeover by the way, it is getting native STL support for
threads if I understand correctly. I should double-check the specs for TR1 and
TR2 to see if it's in those places, or if it's in the language spec. If
nothing else, GCC is getting a makeover.
