	According to a speaker at DECUS last week who talked about new
features of VMS LAT software, the VMS Version 4.6 version of latsym is
multi-threaded, and can support up to 32 print queues.

>- if so, how to accomplish this ?
	It may be in the 4.6 release notes (LAT is talked about there
since the LAT-Plus functionality (reverse LAT, etc.) is now bundled
into regular VMS LAT.
