It has been developed with gnat and runs on Sparc workstations. It is by no means complete and future additions will be demand driven. It also assumes a homogeneous network at present. One interesting feature is the use of the Ada.Streams package to pack/unpack the buffers. This means I will be able to use the stream attributes when they emerge for data transmission. I too can make the code available -- perhaps PAL may be a suitable place. Ken Thomas. uk.ac.soton.ecs
