If someone could help me, i would appreciate it. I am new to Java and need some help. I need to write a multithreaded java or pthreads program that outputs prime numbers. The user needs to run the program and enter a number on the command line. The program needs to create a seperate thread that outputs all the prime numbers less than or equal to the number that the user entered. Thanks in advance......

Erm . . . could you be a little bit more specific? That's too broad for a help-forum.

Unless you've done a multi-threaded programming quite a bit in another language, I think you've gotten in over your head. But if you're determined to go through with it, I can suggest this book. There's a lot of really bad Java concurrent programming books out there, but the guy who wrote this just happens to be the lead for JSR 166, which is the spec for the concurrent utilities in Java 1.5.
