    Synchronizing Resources.

   A language for concurrent programming.

   "Resources" encapsulate processes and variables they share.
   Each Resource can be separately compiled.  "Operations"
   provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.

   SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking
   and servicing operations.  Consequently, it supports local and
   remote procedure call, rendezvous, message passing,
   dynamic process creation, multicast, semaphores and
   shared memory.

   Version 2.2 has been ported to Sun-3, Sun-4, Decstation,
   SGI Iris, HP PA, HP 9000/300, NeXT, Sequent
   Symmetry, DG AViiON, RS/6000, Multimax, Apollo and
   others.
