We will be teaching two courses on the Helios distributed operating system at the Inmos Regional Transputer Center in Santa Clara, California. The first course will be entitled "Introduction to the Helios Operating Systems" and will held on July 6-7. The second course will be held on August 7-8 and is entitled "Advanced Helios |Programming". Both courses will include hand-ons demonstrations and projects. Helios is a truly distributed operating system which runs on networks of trnasputers. The system communicates with a host via a server program. There are currently servers for the IBM PC, the Sun, and VAXen. The system supports message passing at the low level and a high level stream interface in which communicating processes use standard reads and writes to transfer values. For further information contact Ms. Virginia Green at (415)595-7303 or by FAX at (415)595-8158.

The system supports message passing at the helios is also available for the Atari Transputer Workstation which is currently available in europe i believe. now if Atari would market its hardware a little more aggressively in north america, hopefully more people would know about such excellent hardware as the ATW. -- Ignac A.
