At present, the only way I know of running occam on a Helios system is to
dedicate one transputer to run the TDS with another transputer running
the Helios TDS Server that does the same sort of thing that the host
driver does on the standard PC based TDS.  What I really need is an
occam compiler that will run under Helios just like the Helios C compiler
does.

In the October 1989 issue of "Parallelogram" (issue 19 page 6), Peter Cavill
of Inmos is quoted as saying, "In standalone workstations we will support
existing operating systems like Helios and TransIdris by making sure that
Inmos software executes under them."

Does this imply that we will see an occam2 compiler for Helios?  If so, when?

Can anyone at Inmos comment on this?
