====== index for presto ======
PRESTO is an environment for writing object-oriented parallel
programs in the C++ programming language. PRESTO provides
the programmer with a set of pre-defined object types that simplify
the construction of parallel programs. PRESTO runs on Sequent
Symmetry DYNIX 3.0 and DEC VAX ULTRIX 2.0.
PRESTO is an all or nothing deal. To receive all of PRESTO from netlib,
send presto.xaa from presto
send presto.xab from presto
send presto.xac from presto
send presto.xad from presto
send presto.xae from presto
These five files make up a tarred, compressed, uuencoded, split copy
of PRESTO.
PRESTO is written in C++. We provide PRESTO source code, documentation,
and some simple programs written on top of PRESTO. You must provide
a C++ translator on your own.
Here is the output of sum(1), a checksum utility.
19543 61 presto.xaa
28867 61 presto.xab
65207 61 presto.xac
12671 61 presto.xad
23371 46 presto.xae
The following should get you started.
cat presto.xaa > presto.tar.Z.uue
cat presto.xab >> presto.tar.Z.uue
cat presto.xac >> presto.tar.Z.uue
cat presto.xad >> presto.tar.Z.uue
cat presto.xae >> presto.tar.Z.uue
uudecode presto.tar.Z.uue
uncompress presto.tar.Z
tar xvf presto.tar
