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.

There are many difficult things in your article. You have to tell me, what
is meant by TDS ? 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.

Ciao
