[comp.parallel] POOL Availability

mct@pooh.Philips.Com (Mark C. Tucker) (11/21/88)

	POOL-T has been extended in the language POOL2 to include
some convenient syntactic sugar (r.a === r !get_a), asynchronous
messages, a record-like "tuple" type, and parameterized types.  A
modification of POOL2 (called POOL-X) to support database work
includes exceptions and dynamic types described by
runtime type descriptors.

	 At the Nat Lab, they have nice interpreter (plx) for
POOL2/POOLX.  I think you get get it.  You certainly can get a
POOL-T interpreter (pl) and multicomputer simulator (parpl) from them.

You can reached them at:
