Parallel Library V2

                        ----------------------






     The Parallel  Library  routines  assist  in  writing  a  parallel
application  by  implementing  many of the functions commonly required
for parallelism.  These functions include:  establishing  shared  data
and  executable  code  regions, creating and deleting subprocesses and
implementing barrier synchronizations and critical sections.  Included
in  the  kit is a sample parallel program whose comments describe many
of the standard parallelism concepts and suggested VAX/VMS solutions.
