%X In this paper the results of a case study with Transputers
   and Occam for a systematic approach of fault tolerant
   computing is presented. An arbitrary Transputer system can
   be transformed into a fault tolerant version without using
   additional special hardware. Fault tolerance is based on
   software implemented replication. The fault tolerant version
   consists of copies of the original system. Processes on the
   original Transputers can automaticly be transformed into
   versions which can be executed by the Transputers of the
   fault tolerant system. The reliability of the resulting
   system is optimal and performance optimizing properties of
   the original system are preserved.
