Threads: Multithreaded Application Model.
I downloaded many multithreaded applications from various sites. None of them was reliable as I wished. I read lots of stuff about race conditions, deadlocks, how can threads corrupt data or starve. I didn't find an entire application (source code) which will implement good protection and threads synchronization, database access.
This is what I tried to accomplish in this application: a model which can be used to start any other multithread application. If you need badly to see some multithreaded code, Threads is for you. If you are in a hurry to deliver a multithread application, here you go; get Threads and I believe in shortest time you will come up with your problem solved. You have almost everything inside: critical sections, mutexes, events, sempahores, Combination of them, database queries (Interbase and DBISAM sample multithreaded code also provided).

Or even better: take a look at my other applications, based entirely on this threading model. Take a look at eZ News Reader (jpg 138KB - since I'm not in the business of writing a news reader this project is dead. There are too many news readers out there already). Or the Printer Usage Monitor application. Same Threads engine is used in all 3 applications.
