There is a new facilities document that describes the technical offerings of the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies Parallel Processing Lab. The document's current version is 2.0 and all earlier versions should be discarded as they no longer accurately reflect the state of the lab. In addition to the facilities document, documentation for software packages dealing with the various Connection Machine programming environments is now available. All of these documents may be got via anonymous ftp from ftp.umiacs.umd.edu (128.8.120.23) and all are described in the file /pub/cm/Index. It is recommended that you get the Index file and then copy the files you find interesting. Please note that some of the files will require you to have binary mode set before you initiate the transfer. Here is an example of getting the Index file: % ftp ftp.umiacs.umd.edu 220 skippy FTP server (Ultrix Version 4.1 Tue Jan 9 10:55:16 EST 1990) ready.
