in any case, OCCAM or C, my bet is that designing programs that use
a rectangular mesh of processes is a good idea.  i realize that i'm
prob not the first to notice this, but i've never heard anyone say it:
1.	count the number of links on a T8
2.	examine the INMOS logo very closely--what does that remind you of?
i'd say those who like 2d arrays of processes with just a few K of stack &
state might be able to buy some very suitable hardware one of these days.
maybe they'll hire sir clive...
