[PDSS Release]

    PDSS (PIMOS Development Support System) is a system to execute KL1
programs on BSD UNIX workstations, and compatibility with the KL1 system
on the Multi-PSI/PIM is preserved except in the implementation method and
execution efficiency.  Executing large scale KL1 programs on PDSS
directly is difficult because of several constraints, but relatively
small programs or parts of large programs are executable on PDSS.

    PDSS is released as ICOT Free Software at the second release on 7th
September.
