Description:	Sisal is a functional language aimed at parallel numerical and scientific programming. It provides Fortran-like performance (or better), automatic parallelism, and excellent portability. It is an easy language to learn and use; Sisal programs tend to be easier to read and understand than those in other functional or parallel languages. The Optimizing Sisal Compiler, OSC, allows efficient use of machine resources during serial or parallel execution, and guarantees determinate results under any execution environment.
Ports:	Unix, Cray-2 Y-MP & C-90 and Convex Sequent and SGI, Sun/Sparc, Vax, HP, PC, Mac
Portability:	Can run on many Unix machines, shared-memory machines, workstations or personal computers.
