This directory contains a PIM @code{SYSTEM} containing the
-@code{PROCESS} primitives built on top of GNU Pthreads.
-
-The justification for this approach is that it provides a
-@code{SYSTEM} compatible with Programming in Modula-2 [234] and the
-Logitech 3.0 compiler. It also allows higher level executives to be
-ported onto GM2 with little effort. The disadvantage with this
-approach is that @code{IOTRANSFER} is not
-preemptive. @code{IOTRANSFER} will only context switch when a call to
-@code{LISTEN} is made or a call to @code{SYSTEM.TurnInterrupts} is
-made.
-
-In practice this limitation can be tolerated as long as processes
-perform IO at some point (or wait for a timer interrupt) or call
-@code{SYSTEM.TurnInterrupts}. But nevertheless a @code{LOOP}
-@code{END} will starve all other processes. However the great
-advantage is that GNU Modula-2 can offer users the ability to use
-@code{IOTRANSFER}, @code{TRANSFER}, @code{NEWPROCESS} in user space,
-on a multi-user operating system and across a range of platforms.
-
-The GNU Modula-2 @code{SYSTEM} works by utilizing the user context
-switching mechanism provided by GNU Pthreads. @code{NEWPROCESS}
-creates a new context, @code{TRANSFER} switches
-contexts. @code{IOTRANSFER} is more complex. There is a support module
-@code{SysVec} which provides pseudo interrupt vectors. These can be
-created from input/output file descriptors or timer events
-@code{timeval}. This vector is then passed to @code{IOTRANSFER} which
-keeps track of which file descriptors and timevals are active. When a
-call to @code{TurnInterrupts} or @code{LISTEN} is made the sub system
-calls @code{pth_select} and tests for any ready file descriptor or
-timeout. A ready file descriptor or timeout will ultimately cause the
-backwards @code{TRANSFER} inside @code{IOTRANSFER} to take effect.
-
-See the @file{gm2/examples/executive} directory for an executive and
-timerhandler module which provide higher level process creation,
-synchronisation and interrupt handling routines. These libraries have
-been tested with the examples shown in @file{gm2/examples/executive}
-and @file{gm2/gm2-libs-coroutines}.
-
-Users of these libraries and the libraries in
-@file{gm2/examples/executive} must link their application against the
-GNU Pthread library (typically by using @code{-lpth}).
