PRESTO, an environment for writing object-oriented parallel programs
in the C++ programming language, is now available on the Internet.
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 VAX ULTRIX 2.0.

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.

The following should get you started.  As usual, please try
to avoid the peak load hours of the computers and nets involved.

ftp june.cs.washington.edu (128.95.1.4)

cd pub
type binary
get presto.tar.Z
bye
ls -l presto.tar.Z (should be 213581 bytes)
sum presto.tar.Z (should be 15573 209)
uncompress presto.tar.Z
tar xvf presto.tar

and Software -- Practice & Experience (August 1988).
