Hello there, I would like to know if there has ever been a book written on Parallel Lisp (besides the Connection Machines *lisp manual - which is of no use to the beginners!)... Please post me any material/book that can be used as a text in teaching Parallel Lisp. thanks Amad

Well, there are several Parallel Lisps. A good book on one of them
(Paralation Lisp) which should be useful to beginners is:
@book{lang:paralation-book,
author = "Gary W. Sabot",
title = "The Paralation Model: Architecture-Independent Parallel Programming",
publisher = "The MIT Press",
year = "1988",
address = "Cambridge, Massachusetts"}
You can also get accompanying software that runs on PCs.
Disclaimer: I share an office with Gary, and he's threatened unspeakable
harm to me if I say anything bad about his book :-) ... and Gary's working
on Fortran now ...
