			*******************

                ANNOUNCEMENT :  Para++ v2.0 NOW Available

	      C++ bindings for Message Passing Libraries
		    (Implemented with PVM and MPI)
	
		     http://www.loria.fr/para++/

	            ***************************** 

  Para++ is a set of C++ classes to help writing Message Passing programs in
C++ by encapsulating message passing primitives into a higher level of
abstraction. 
  All communications are defined by using C++-streams.
  This package is available on top of MPI and PVM.

  The latest release(2.0) of Para++ is NOW available.
 
New features are included:
-------------------------
 -Full support of the MPMD model.
     Thanks to the new version of the MPI standard, we are now able to
   provide the "startSlave" fonction on both PVM and MPI-2 implementations.

 -Extended communication primitives.
     Each set of spawned tasks will be associated with a "ParaContext" object.    That means, inter-slave communications will be possible, simply by naming
   the target task by a (rank, ParaContext) identifier.

 -Support for the LAM6.0 implementation of MPI.
     In particular, we use the MPIL_* extensions to enable dynamic process
   management within Para++ V2.
