       X-LINK - AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF OCCAM PLACEMENT COMMANDS
       =========================================================
 
Last year I created an application for generating occam link placement
commands. I distributed it to a number of people and organisations, and
have since made some modifications and enhancements. Since the response
to the first version was was promising, I figured I'd mention it here.
 
The program runs on an XT / AT with Hercules graphics support, and can
handle configurations of up to 16 Transputers.
 
Basically, the user constructs a configuration using the arrow keys to
select the Transputers and links. The program then generates the program
placement for the network specifications - i.e. the declaration and
placement of the links for that configuration.
 
We've made extensive use of the application, and have found that it saves
a lot of time and eliminates careless error in non-trivial network
specification.
 
This venture is not intended for commercial gain (any donations will be
forwarded to Rhino Survival Zimbabwe). It you are interested in getting
hold of it, send me a diskette, and I'll gladly send you a copy. It will
cost me around R20 to post the software and documentation, so please en-
close the equivalent - about $8 or 5 pounds (or a carton of Marlboros -
sanctions are beginning to bite).
