<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Function>tt_feature_enabled</Function> function
queries the ToolTalk service to see if the specified feature has
previously been enabled.
This allows a library that "wraps around" ToolTalk for sending and receiving
messages to determine if multithreaded execution has been enabled by the
main program, and to modify its behavior accordingly.
