[GRASS5] GRASS on parallel CPUs

[Bruce_Byars at baylor.edu]

Hi all,

True parallel processing will need a rewrite of the libes as Markus
points out.  However, we have a version of Sun Workshop that
*supposedly* will optimize for parallel processors without major
re-working of the code.  I'll dig into  this and see.  If so, we'll load
it up in the next day or so and give  it a try.  We've got a multi-proc
server we can test on (Solaris 7).

If anyone's interested in working with this, let me know.

Bruce
