Welcome to PADE (pronounced pah-DAY) Version 1.4!

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Parallel 
Applications Development Environment, PADE for short, is a flexible, 
customizable environment for developing parallel applications that use
the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) message-passing library.  It provides
an integrated framework for all phases of development of a parallel
application: editing, compilation, execution, debugging, and performance
monitoring.  PADE consists of an intuitive graphical user interface,
a suite of PVM utilities, and extensive documentation in PostScript, 
ASCII, and HTML formats.

The latest version is Version 1.4.0 and is in the file
nist_pade.1.4.0.tar.gz.  This is a "tar" file that has been compressed
with the GNU gzip program.  It is approximately 350 Kbytes, and uncompresses
to approximately 4.8 Mbytes.  Be sure to transfer this file in "binary" mode.
Older versions of PADE are in the subdirectory "old_versions".

Version 1.4.0 and later require Tcl/Tk 8.0.  If you have an older version of 
Tcl/Tk, then you should either update your version of Tcl/Tk or get 
Version 1.2.0 of PADE from the old_versions subdirectory.

Enjoy!
