I have used the C compiler of Meiko. The transputers I used were
connected to a Sun Sparc. What I liked was that the same code could be
run on transputer and Suns. It is even possible to run a program on
several transputers and several Sparcs.

As far as I have seen the libraries are highly Unix compatible with
a large number of routines for parallel processing and communication.

I don't know if this C compiler is good in comparison to other products
but I like what I've seen. I also haven't studied the code generation of the 
compiler.

Richard.
