Does anyone know of an Occam compiler for the transputer that runs under 4.2bsd? Some sort of university product would be great. Inmos sells software for the IBM-PC and VAX VMS, both of these environments are distasteful for anything longer than an evaluation period. jeff mock (415) 499-3600 ucbvax!pixar!jeff

In response to the inquiry about the availability of an Occam compiler under UNIX: Yes, a UNIX version of the Occam compiler is available from the Computing Laboratory, University of Kent at Canterbury. Dr. Peter H. Welch is the person to contact there. Their distribution will run under either 4.2bsd (& I've used also used it under 4.3bsd) as well as System V. They include 'occ', an Occam compiler, and 'oced', which resembles the Inmos 'OPS' editor cum checker. Handling charge is about 12 pounds.

In response to Jeff Mock's query about an Occam compiler for the transputer, Jeff Elman responded in net.arch with information on the Unix system available from Peter Welch at the University of Kent. This is a perfectly usable system, but it does not compile to the transputer. 'occ' produces vax code which can then be executed. It is thus good for writing and debugging occam programs, but it cannot be used to produce code for the transputer. We at Cornell are also very interested in locating an Occam compiler for the transputer which runs under 4.[2-3] bsd. Any leads out there?
