 /** @page threads Thread Safety
 
+    To enable thread safety, you must link to @c libmrw-mt instead of
+    @c libmrw. That means, your link option is: @c -lmrw-mt
+
+    Different instances of classes can run in different threads, but
+    instances of classes can not be shared between different threads.
+
     All classes are not thread safe, that means they should either
     always be accessed from the same thread, or you are responsible
-    for locking. If you need thread safety as a feature, please send
+    for locking.
+
+    All methods are threads safe, that means, they can be called at
+    the same time from different threads. But not on the same object.
+
+    This means: One instance should only be used within one single
+    thread. Different instances of the same class can be accessed
+    simultaneousely in different threads.
+
+    If you need more thread safety as a feature, please send
     me an email and ask me for it (you find the address in the package
     or on my personal homepage: http://marc.waeckerlin.org).
