Glish

   Glish is an interpretive language for building loosely-coupled
   distributed systems from modular, event-oriented programs.
   Written by Vern Paxson .  These programs are
   written in conventional languages such as C, C++, or Fortran.

   Glish scripts can create local and remote processes and
   control their communication.  Glish also provides a full,
   array-oriented programming language (similar to S) for
   manipulating binary data sent between the processes.  In
   general Glish uses a centralised communication model where
   interprocess communication passes through the Glish
   interpreter, allowing dynamic modification and rerouting of
   data values, but Glish also supports point-to-point links
   between processes when necessary for high performance.

   Version 2.4.1 includes an interpreter, C++ class library
   and user manual.  It requires C++ and there are ports to
   SunOS, Ultrix, an HP/UX (rusty).
