We are looking for alternative libraries to use on, at least, a Meiko. For various reasons the CS-Tools have not met our needs. We would like the libraries to have the following properties. Preferably dynamic placement of processes. Process to process routing To communicate with the Sun front end. fast, simple, either available on serveral machines or available in source form so we can port it. Public domain/freely distributable would be best but quality is much more important. -- Lee McLoughlin phone: 071 589 5111 X 5037 fax: 071 581 8024 Department of Computing, Imperial College, 180 Queens Gate, London SW7 2BZ, UK Janet: lmjm@uk.ac.ic.doc Uucp: lmjm@icdoc.UUCP (or ..!ukc!icdoc!lmjm) DARPA: lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk (or lmjm%uk.ac.ic.doc@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk) --

I was under the impression that you could do all of the above with Meiko CSTools ! The first with CSBuild (I'm not 100% certain about this), the second is trivial with named transports (or have I misunderstood what you want), and the third is most definitely "doable" with CSTools as you can compile CSTools programs on the Sun with cc instead of mcc. All you need to worry about is byte order and that can be handled with XDR routines. I have personally programmed the last two and I'll check the first.
