Do you mean the mt_aes? The new gemlib (the merge with mgemlib beeing 
currently done) will have this ability.

But how to actually set the name of the child process? Could you point 
me to some example code?

tfork()?

Real threads under MiNT (no process?)? This would be a good 'news' for 
me. Could you explain more about tfork() and possible real thread 
implementation?

I would rather stick to the fork() and mt_aes instead for my purpose.
