The main hint was given by Iain Phillips (Iain.P...@cs.man.ac.uk)
who suggested to use the Inmos OCCAM Toolset "isim" simulator.

This program simulates a T425-Transputer on a SUN and it IS
possible to simulate great transputer networks if you set
the UNIX environment variables IBOARDSIZE to something large.

Additionally you have to declare the memsize in the .pgm-file
sufficiently large (e.g. SET Root(type, memsize := "T425", 104*mega) ).

I tried it with a 26 Transputer network without any problems!

Many thanks to Ian,

Alf.

The .pgm file in occam is the configuration file. It is similar to the .cfs
file in the ANSI C toolset, but a more occam-style language is used.
