Hi Swapnil

Threading is part of the OS, it is not part of Java or Tcl. What I think 
you might be asking is how one can create a Tcl interpreter in
a thread. This is supported by the existing APIs, the way you set things 
up depends on your situation. A brief overview of using an
interp's event queue is given here:

http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/docs/website/getstart.html

The main thing to keep in mind is that your interp will typically run in 
one thread and just process events added to the thread safe
event queue. Other threads will then add events to this queue and they 
will be processed one at a time.

For a more detailed overview, see the following docs (included in 1.4.1 
download)
