The problem is that the version of Meta released with ISIS 2.1 was
specific to the sun4 architecture.  We have subsequently extended this
version so that it now runs on the mips architecture.  This version is
available for the asking.  However, a new version of Meta, Meta 2.0,
should be available this summer.  We have a number of technical
reports discussing this new version.  It includes a guarded command
language (a low-level postfix language consisting of predicate, action
pairs) and consequently supports distributed control of the distributed
application in addition to just monitoring.
