Presto 0.3 is now available via anonymous ftp from june.cs.washington.edu It differs from the version available 9/88 -- 4/89 mainly in bug fixes. If you get a copy, please let me know. Presto is an environment for writing object-oriented parallel programs in the C++ programming language. Presto provides the programmer with a set of pre-defined object types such as ``Thread'' and ``Lock'' that simplify the construction of parallel programs. Presto runs on Sequent Symmetry DYNIX 3.0 and DEC VAX ULTRIX 2.3. Presto is written in C++. We provide Presto source code, documentation, and some simple programs written on top of Presto. You must provide a C++ translator on your own. We use AT&T C++ 1.2.1. The following should get you started. As usual, please try to avoid the peak load hours of the computers and nets involved. ftp june.cs.washington.edu (128.95.1.4) anonymous (your username) cd pub type binary get presto0.3.tar.Z bye ls -l presto.tar.Z (should be 201897 bytes) sum presto.tar.Z (should be 50127 198) uncompress presto.tar.Z tar xvf presto.tar If you cannot talk ftp with june, I will consider sending you a uuencoded, split version of the same stuff. The total size is about 280,000 bytes. I will send 5 pieces, none bigger than 62,000 bytes. You can read more about PRESTO in ACM SIGPLAN PPEALS (July 1988) and Software -- Practice & Experience (August 1988).
