Of course you can fire up several MCL processes, almost like unix. Just
duplicate MCL on your hard disk and launch each copy. You can just wait a
couple of months and buy MCL 3.0, which has multiple threads.

The MacOS has supported background tasks since the beginning. A year or two
ago we released Thread Manager, which gives C programmers some limited 
threading, and with Copland you'll have much more.
