Why do you hate proting this program to OCCAM. If you will do that, perhaps you can paralyse some processes. So it will be more effective to start that program on transputers. By the way, which transputers do you use ? I use the T800N in an array of two. > I have a C compiler, but > it has no network loader, so I would have to import it's > output into TDS, which gives me the creeps.

Transputers aren't used in Germany so much, so I will not know so much about your things in USA. But, I can tell you, that there are rumors about a PD Program which ports C Pograms to OCCAM. The special thing of this Program is, that it tries to devide the C-Source in paralel processes. I said it anymore, I would port this program. In addition, I didn't hear about a Transputer C-compiler. And don't think, that something like this exists. If you get some, or hear about one, then please contact me. Ok, that was all, I had to say.
