If you don't have the right module, get it from iserver directory
below.

At unix.hensa.ac.uk in the parallel archive under /parallel I have:

	iservers:	/parallel/software/iservers/*
		and in particular, the latest one(?):
			/parallel/software/iservers/iserverv1.50v.tar.Z

	ispy:		/parallel/software/inmos/ispy.tar.Z

And iskip comes with every toolset, I think and since it only runs on
Transputers, it doesn't make any sense to re-compile it!
