I would like to post a small quibble with Andy with regard to the ease of
writting "network load" programs:  Although it is pretty easy to get something
working it is a fairly serious effort to do the job "right" with reasonable
error recovery, minimized load time (parallel broadcasting of programs, etc),
while still keeping the amount of memory consumed by the bootstrap to the
minimum!  For many people memory is plentiful, however, there is a class of
user who just needs on-chip ram for an application (2K on the T414), and who
would like to be able to load a program which can use most of that memory!

In answer to the recently asked question about network loaders, LOGICAL
SYSTEMS (aka me), does offer a network loader as a standard component in our
new release of the "Transputer Toolset" (works with our "C" compiler and
utilities).

I'm fairly sure that Definicon also has a network loader but I'm unfamilar with
it personally.

A final comment with regard to Andy's posting:  The "Transputer Toolset" does
run on IBM PC's as he indicated but it also runs on a variety of other
machines (about 1/3 of our customers use SUN workstations for example...)
