I am one of the people concerned with the DAP at QMC so you
should be able to get my address from this note. (I am also
listed in the na-net catalogue).

We have used the DAP software for about ten years and have
always found it extremely easy to use.  In particular the
Fortran Plus system is extremely flexible for all sorts of
applications.  We dont particularly recommend the use of APAL,
because of the flexibility at the Fortran level for many types
of application.  We have had several hundred users using the
QMC DAP as a national service for Scientific and engineering
applications, Image and signal processing,  environmetal
studies and a variety of other problems including several in
number theory.

We do run courses here if anyone from your establishment is
interested in attending, or could put them on there if you or
AMT is willing to pay the cost!

For further information you might find it helpful to contact
either Jack Dongarra or Danny Sorensen at Argonne.
          I and my colleagues would be happy to help in
whatever way we can
                Best wishes, Heather Liddell
