Parallel Library V2

                      DECUS Library Kit Contents
                      --------------------------



     The following files are included in the Parallel Library V2 kit:

ABSTRACT.MEM

     The DECUS Library submission abstract.

CONTENTS.MEM

     This file.

DIRECTORY.DAT

     A directory listing of the files included in this kit.

PLIBFOR.FOR

     This is the source file for the majority of the Parallel  Library
routines.  There are no FORTRAN switches required for the compiling of
this code.  This file does, however, require access to the PLIBFOR.INC
include file during compilation for common block definitions.

PLIBFOR.INC

     This is the include file  required  when  compiling  PLIBFOR.FOR.
This  file  contains  the  data  definitions required for the Parallel
Library's common block.

PLIBMAC.MAR

     Some of the Parallel Library routines cannot be FORTRAN  routines
due to requiring the interlocked VAX instructions.  This file contains
these  routines.   There  are  no  MACRO  switches  required  for  the
compiling of this code.

SAMPLE.FOR

     This is a  working  sample  program  that  demonstrates  how  the
Parallel  Library  routines  can  be  used.  Besides demonstrating the
routines, this  program  is  heavily  commented  to  describe  various
parallelism issues and ways around the problems.

USERGUIDE.MEM

     This document provides detailed  descriptions  of  the  routines:
argument lists, return values, comments and restrictions.
