====== 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 presto.xaa presto.xab presto.xac presto.xad presto.xae 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.
