A first version of the EIB-ISB NEXTSTEP driver for Transputer based 
massively parallel computers is now available on

	cs.orst.edu:	pub/next/submissions/nxtrans.tar.Z
	ftp.isbiel.ch:	parallel/tools/next/nxtrans.taz

It allows B004 compatible Transputer systems to be used from NEXTSTEP 
running on Intel based computers. It has been tested with the INMOS 
D7205 occam toolkit and the PACT-C v92.1 compiler. Using other 
development environment is made possible by a NEXTSTEP version of the 
iserver program delivered with this package.

This driver is based on two main components: a Loadable Kernel Server 
which controls the hardware, and a daemon which allows user programs to 
communicate with the LKS.

The driver package includes:

   -  the driver LKS
   -  the driver daemon
   -  a NEXTSTEP version of the INMOS iserver with sources
   -  a NEXTSTEP version of the PACT-C pserver and pcc
   -  a driver installation note
   -  an INMOS D7205 and a PACT-C installation notes
