Well, it's ANSI C with libraries to support message passing ;-)

That's a little bit much for a posting. But have a look at
http://www.uni-ulm.de/urz/mpp.html

There you will find references to nCUBE manpages at different sites etc.

:>        3. Some discussion of the limitations of the language

The same limitations as ANSI C has ;) Or do you mean the functionality the
library provides ? Well, have a look at the manpages.

Ciao ... Frank
