	DECthreads (or vanilla ASTs) allows one to have multiple threads in a single process -- though the traditional OpenVMS approach for situations such as this involve an AST-based asychronous read. (Either allows a seperate thread of execution -- process creation on OpenVMS is rather heavier and slower than that of UNIX...) Communications sockets not normally shared on OpenVMS.
