Threads play a major role in applications programming today. For example, most Web servers are threaded, as are many Java GUI programs. Here are the major settings in which using threads has been founded convenient and/or efficient:
• Programs with asynchronous events:
Here the program must be ready for various events, but does not know the order in which they might occur. For example, in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, we have a network server connected to several clients. The server does not know from which client the next message will arrive. So, we have the server create a separate thread for each client, with each thread handling only its client.

A text editor is a program that manipulates plain text (ASCII). Most text editors are full screen editors (they display a full screen of text) as opposed to line editors (which display one line at a time). Emacs is a full screen text editor supported by RUCS. On RUCS UNIX machines the default version of Emacs is the GNU release of Emacs. There are a couple of different UNIX text editors available for use in creating and editing files. These UNIX text editors are applications that can be run either in a telnet session or an X-windows session. The three most popular UNIX text editors here at Rutgers are Emacs, Pico, and VI. Using these UNIX text editors allows you to program in any computer language and translate it into code that the computer will be able to read and execute.
