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.
