Archive-name: ai/shell/cparaops5/1991-02-21 Original-posting-by: acha@CS.CMU.EDU (Anurag Acharya) Original-subject: fast free portable ops5 implementation Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) CParaOPS5 is a compiled version of OPS5. It consists of an OPS5 to C compiler and a runtime library. Both of these are written in C. It can be configured to run on vanilla Unix boxes, Encore multimaxen running Mach or Umax or multiprocessor Vaxen running Mach. When setup in the uniprocessor configuration, both the compiler and the executables generated for the programs can be run under any version of Unix. It is available free but under license. The procedure is as follows: 1. I send you two copies of a license agreement by physical mail. 2. Someone at your organization signs *both* the copies and returns *both* copies to me. 3. I get it signed from the people concerned here and let you have the software either by ftp or by magtape. I also send you a copy of the signed license agreement. The license agreement is a standard one. You agree not to redistribute the software without Carnegie Mellon's permission and you agree to let us have any changes that you might make to the system. At some date in near future, we will probably go public domain. The system is reasonably stable. It is in regular use here at Carnegie Mellon and several other sites in US and Europe. Like most free software, this comes "as is" with no guarantee of support. Currently, this software can be shipped only to sites in US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Britain. We expect that the export restrictions will be relaxed in near future. If interested, send mail to psm-requests@cs.cmu.edu or reply to this message (acha@cs.cmu.edu). anurag
