Strand Software Technologies is pleased to announce the availability
of STRAND88(TM).  Following extensive testing, this is the first full
release of the Strand language which is based on STReams and AND 
parallelism.

STRAND88 addresses the needs of programmers who wish to explore
the programming challenges posed by the rapidly expanding number
of parallel processor hardware types becoming available. The vital
difference between STRAND88 and any other parallel processing
language is that the same code runs efficiently on single processor
machines such as workstations as well as on a growing list of parallel 
architecture hardware, including both shared memory and distributed 
memory machines, based on most of the common processor types e.g.  
Intel 80386, Motorola 68020/30, SUN Sparc, Inmos Transputer and
NatSemi 32032.

STRAND88 offers the programmer:-

* PARALLEL SEMANTICS.
* PORTABILITY.
* PROTECTION OF INVESTMENT IN EXISTING APPLICATIONS.

Requires:

Sun 3, Sun 4, System V Unix/80386 Workstations and Atari ATW
Transputer Workstation

*** Ed's Note: lots of stuff about prices/etc deleted - I'll post brief
summaries of new products, but I don't want this to be an advertising
forum.
