We have made an alpha-distribution available of the Orca parallel language
for Solaris 2 on SPARC workstations. The distribution can be obtained
through the following URL:

	http://www.cs.vu.nl//vakgroepen/cs/orca.html

The distribution includes source files for a compiler, runtime system,
example application programs, and a performance visualization tool.

Orca is an easy to use, type-secure language for writing parallel applications
that run on distributed-memory machines (multicomputers and networks of
workstations). It has been used successfully for a large number of applications.
More information on Orca (including research papers) can also be obtained
through the above URL.
