A full implementation of Occam+ for VAX and CCI power-6/32 running
UNIX 4.2bsd. This is a beta site version. It includes a compiler for
Occam+ which produces assembler code. Also included is a library of
runtime routines acting as the parallel machine simulator.

Occam+ includes extensions to the language such as shared memory and
buffered channels. Thus, the package may be used to simulate a vast
variety of parallel architectures.  The package supports separate
compilation, and comes with strong monitoring facilities. All the
extensions and special features are listed in the attached user
manual.  The next version will include monitoring of shared variables,
both at compile time and at run time.

The sources are 12000 code lines, residing in 2 directories, and taking
up about 270k. Attached is a user reference manual.

The sources and documentation are available by FTP at ftp@ucbarpa
under pub/occam.dist.
