This thesis extends the capability of the C language. A language extension is provided for Borland's Turbo C that will provide an environment for concurrency while maintaining compatibility and portability with C libraries. This is made possible be done by creating a preprocessor for the extended language allowing concurrent algorithm implementation on a normal C compiler. The extended language will include concurrency constructs such as semaphores, monitors and concurrent statements. A library will also be provided. This library will provide the necessary library routines for the target program to run.
