%X The design and an implementation overview of a communication
   system which provides deadlock\-free operation in a tightly
   coupled message\-passing multicomputer system is presented.
   Furthermore, routing simulation results for a 4x 10 computer
   array are described. The communication system has many
   positive characteristics including provable
   deadlock\-freedom, guaranteed message arrival, and automatic
   local congestion reduction. This system has been implemented
   in Occam 2 on a network of Transputers.
