The facilities provided are modelled closely on those provided in DAP-FORTRAN, and so the system is particularly convenient as a development system for DAP programmes; however, the principles involved in providing the facilities apply equally well to other parallel languages of similar structure, such as ACTUS or FORTRAN 8X.
