%X In this paper we present the MOPED module of the Millipede
   debugging system. Millipede is a multi\-level debugging
   sytem for parallel message passing programs. MOPED allows
   the user to specify a protocol to which the communication of
   the program should adhere, and authomatically have all the
   messages sent in the system checked against the protocol.
   The specification language is small and easy to use, yet
   powerful enough to specify a wide range of protocols.
   Program variables can be passed easily to the verification
   module, allowing the construction of mode dynamic protocol
   specifications. Protocols can be specified incrementally,
   starting out very general working towards a more complex
   specification. Finally, the verification module can be run
   either online, that is, while the application is executing,
   or offline, using log files generated when the application
   was executed.
