Just a short quote from the 'Mach 3 server writer's guide', page 6:

Given that most servers are not written in parallel or task-ing languages,
the C threads package is provided. This package, discussed in this volume,
supports multi-threaded programming in the C (or C++) language.

Sad but true, it doesn't support nowaday's C++, C++ has gone far from what it
probably was in the beginning of the nineties. However, I will try to hack
this thing into form (the issues of renaming stuff that uses reserved
keywords of C++ and some pointer-conversions that are not done without
explicit cast by C++ are trivial to fix).
I hope not to step on anyone's toes, but my personal opinion is that even if
one doesn't care about C++, one can easily avoid it's additional reserved
keywords, they are just a few.
