ANNOUNCE :

  UCHAN 0.1(alpha) - the *nix-Channel-Emulator
  --------------------------------------------

is available via ftp.

host     : scotch.rog.rwth-aachen.de
location : /pub/parallel
name     : uchan-0.1.tar.gz

UCHAN is a collection of C-functions which implement
a subset of the "channel.h", "process.h" and "misc.h"
functionality for Transputers on *NIX hosts supporting
gcc and TCP/IP-sockets.
The purpose is to build an environment to debug processes
in a comfortable way using the gdb-debugger.
You can run processes communicating via channels on
one or on multiple hosts and monitor link activity.

This software is just a little hack, so don't expect
too much. The functions supported so far are:

- ChanIn(), ChanInInt(), ChanInChar(), ChanOut(), ChanOutInt(),
  ChanOutChar() (and their DirectChan... counterparts)

- ProcGetPriority(), ProcTime(), ProcAlt()

- get_param()

The functions are tested under SunOS4.1.3 and Linux 1.1.10,
but should work with most older and all newer versions.

I don't know if I have the time to continue developing
UCHAN. Please mail me if you think it is usefull.
Please don't flame me for the poor, buggy and undocumented
code.

  Enjoy,  Michael
