The following annoucement is about DIPC 1.1c. It currently supports Linux/i386 and Linux/m68k processors. Please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to volunteer for porting it to Alpha processors. This is to announce that version 1.1c of DIPC (Distributed Inter-Process Communication) for Linux is available now. It patches 2.2.8/2.3.0 kernels. DIPC can be used to build and program clusters (multi-computers), and provides distributed program developers with semaphores, messages and transparent distributed shared memory. The file dipc-1.1c.tgz, containing the complete source code and documents, can be obtained by anomymous FTP from wallybox.cei.net, in directory /pub/dipc. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from sunsite.unc.edu, in /incoming/Linux, or in /pub/Linux/system/network/distrib.
