Hello Friends, A trade rag blurb that I read the other day and can't find now discussed the programming language Linda. It is a language for writing network distributed programs and compiles into C, Fortrash, Modula-2, and some others. Paraphrase: "Currently programs talk to each other over the network with a sort of telephone call. Linda uses a distributed bulletin board instead, called 'tuple space'. All the subprograms on individual machines add tuples to the tuple space and pull them off whenever they like." The very superficial article implied that it's a very slick system for doing distributed programs and doing low-level communication between them. It was written by David Gelertner at Yale. Does anyone have any info on this? Is it public domain? FTP-able? How about a mail address (from usenet) to Professor Gelertner or a general postmaster/address finder at Yale? Thanks in advance, Jerry O. Merlaine Bell Technologies Fremont CA pacbell.com!belltec!jom
