     ABSTRACT

     The Computing Laboratory has developed  software  which
     allows a number of interconnected UNIX$ "" sup * $ sys-
     tems to appear as a single system to both users and ap-
     plication  programs.   This software, called the ``New-
     castle Connection'' does not  require  changes  to  the
     UNIX kernel or the application programs.  The talk will
     describe the appearance of UNIX united to  a  user  and
     the implementation techniques employed by the Newcastle
     Connection.
