The Transputer Archive-Server is an automated data service whose email address
is archive-server@inmos.com.  This server contains bulletins for transputer
software and copies of public domain software related to transputers.  This 
server is continually updated.  The contents of the Transputer Archive-
Server include:

1.   The cprot archive which contains source code for a utility program which
     a) converts Occam Constants to C defines
     b) generates C code to interpret Occam protocols
2.   The Check archives (checkocc, checkpc, checksrc, checksun3, checksun386i,
     and checksun4) contain the programs comprising the Check utility suite
     of programs for various host systems.
3.   The disassembler archive contains the source code and a PC 
     executable for a transputer code disassembler.
4.   The transputer demonstration archive (demos) contains demonstration 
     programs for the transputer.
5.   The forth archive which contains documentation, source code, and executable
     files for a forth interpreter for transputers.
6.   The iris archive contains C source code and a makefile to support the 
     development of a Silicon Graphics Iris host to transputer interface on
     B014 and Paracom/Parsytec boards.
7.   The iserver archive contains "C" source code and makefiles for the 
     transputer iserver.
8.   The Origami archives (origami, and origamip) contain source code
     and PC executable code for the Origami folding editor.
9.   The PROM loader (promldr) archive contains source and executable files for
     program which lets you test a "boot-from-PROM" program on a "Boot-from-
     link" transputer.
10.  The s706beta archive contains a software package which will convert toolset
     code files to a form which can be loaded into eprom programmers.  This  
     archive contains a subarchive with the source code.
11.  The supervis archive contains an Occam program which measures how "busy"
     a transputer is.  This archive contains the source code and documentation.
12.  The unixoccam archive contains a compressed TAR file for a Unix Occam 
     compiler which generates executable code for the DEC 11 series computers.
     This is the compiler that was written by "Gil" and posted to the net (we
     would like to give full credit to the author but our news expired the
     original messages and we cannot find the author's name on any of the
     traffic relating to the compiler).
13.  The yank (Yet Another Network Konfigurer) archive contains documentation,
     executable code, and source code for a utility that generates transputer
     network configuration files from the output of the Check program (which
     is also stored in the archive-server).

In addition to these new archives, one new command has been added to the 
server.  The "product" command will retrieve all software bulletins associated
with a particular product.  For instance the command

     product D705A

will retrieve all software bulletins related to the D705A.  Please note that theletters in the product identifier must be upper case if this command is to find
the products.  

Many of the commands to the archive-server will generate large amounts of data.
Therefore we recommend you use the "pack" or "archive" commands to compress the
files.  The archive server currently supports the Unix compress utility and the
zoo and lharc archivers which compress files.

If you need additional information on using the Transputer Archive-Server, send
a message with the command

     help

in the message body to archive-server@inmos.com and the server will send a 
file listing the commands and procedures for using this server.
