%  SW-form for registering the software products that are installed
%  on a machine in the ACPC network. 
%  NOTE: This is no independent LaTex file. It has to be included in the 
%        file that describes the corresponding ACPC group
%        or in a `frame' LaTex file (see `sw-frame.tex') where
%        formating information etc is given.
%        All SW-forms should be included into the group description file
%        after the included HW-form.

\subsubsection*{\bf \st }

\begin{itemize}
 \item {\bf Name:} \st\ Buckingham Release    % Full name and version of the software product (sw-p).

 \item {\bf Location:} /usr/local/strand % Full path of the sw-p (references to other
                   % important directories might be included here).

 \item {\bf Type:}  Parallel Declarative Programming Language   % What sort of sw-p is this?
                   % Possible entries are: (Parallelizing) Compiler, Debugger,
                   % Editor, Computer Algebra System etc.

 \item {\bf Characterization:} \st\ is an implementation of the Strand 
  language, which includes an environment for developing and running Strand 
  programs. % A short description of what the sw-p
                           % does (no longer than 50 words).
  The Strand language is desinged to utilize the facilities of 
  concurrent machines and parallel architectures. It supports
  concurrent processing, stream communication between processes, Data-flow,
  modular development, declarative reading, object oriented programming and
  interfaces to other languages and data types.

  
 \item {\bf Functions:}     % Description of the main features of the 
                        % sw-p.
                        % This should include the following subtopics:
       \begin{itemize}
        \item {Invocation:}  {\tt st} % How to start the sw-p.
        \item {Termination:} {\tt <CTRL>C} % How to leave the sw-p.
        \item {Help:}        {\tt st -h } % How to get help.
        \item {Example:}     {\tt } % An Example of a typical session with the usage
                                    % of some important features.
        \item {Other important functions:}  {\tt } % A list of important functions.
       \end{itemize}

 \item {\bf Installation:}  {\tt source /usr/local/strand/strandrc} % Which environment vars have to be set, etc.

 \item {\bf Manuals:}       \st\ User Manual, \\ % Name, location and version of the manuals for this
                            Book: Strand New Concepts in Parallel Programming % sw-p.
