This directory contains the POSYBL,
an implementation of the Linda model for the Ethernet Network.

Some 10-15 lines test programs can be found in the directory ./tests.

Some classical Linda programs, modified to work with this system can 
be found in the directory ./examples.

Some real programs can be found in the directory ./demos.

For documentation look at the man pages in the directory ./man and the latex 
report in the directory ./doc.

The source is in the directory ./src where you should go in order
to compile the system.

To install the system, edit the makefile, make the needed adjustments
of the BINDIR and LIBDIR definitions, and just type:

		make sun3
	or 	make sun4
	or	make mips

depending on the machine you are.

if you are going to use the system in a homogenous environment
you 'd better rename the excecutables in BINDIR directory
from <executable.arch> to <executable>.

The next thing to do is to modify your '.cshrc' so that you add to your path 
the directory BINDIR.

Then you must create a nodefile. Its format is described in the 
man/nodefile.man manual. Finally, go to the tests or examples directory
and try to run one of the programs there.

Finally, I would like to thank I. Kavaklis for his contribution
with ideas, code and for offering to use the system.
