I looking at implementing a parallel functional language on a large
(96 processor) Parsytec transputer cluster based on the T800
transputer connected to a Sun4.

It is planned to use C as an intermediate language.

I would like any comments transputer programmers have about using
C on transputers.

In particular comments on the different C compilers available would be
most appreciated:
  eg)	ParC (Parsytec)
	C (INMOS)
	C (3L)
	C (Logical Systems)
	C (Norcroft)
	any others I have missed

Areas of interest/concern include:
	performance/usability of the compiler
	quality of code generated
	communication features/tools		(and their performance)
	concurrent processing features/tools	(and their performance)

Please reply be e-mail. I will post a summary of responses.

Thanks in advance, Patrick.
