Using Precedes and Follows you can define as complex (or simple) a net of
thread inter-dependencies as you may need.

Besides Precedes and Follows, are there other ways to start additional threads?
Specifically, I'd like to start additional threads and then continue the
execution of the current thread.  I might be misinterpreting this, but it seems
that Precedes and Follows only starts a new thread after the preceding one has
finished.

Also, is there a way for one thread to stop another?  In NQC there was start and
stop which provided a lot of flexibility.  I'm not sure how to do this in NBC or
NXC.  Is this possible now or perhaps in
the works for the future?
