Correct.

The way to do this -- from each Thread of YOUR app, you simply establish own
db.Connection.

In fact even V4RB developers will be able now EASY create safe
multi-threaded apps that talk with server.

Correct, 

Andreas, please note that we will have 3 clients for MacOS:

1) Classic
2) Carbon
3) Macho        

What problems? 

If you want preemptive threads you need Macho APP and you will use Macho
client.

Read above

PowerPlant add it seems < 100KB
