<H2> Introduction </H2>
PACT stands for Portable Application Code Toolkit. It is a
self-contained set of tools which support developing and
using portable programs particularly scientific and engineering
applications. It attacks several portability problem areas
<ul>
<li> Binary Data
<li> Graphics
<li> Interprocess Communication
</ul>
PACT is composed of several (currently 9) specific packages
each of which address a specific functionality.
<p>
What are the PACT packages?
<ul>
<dt> SCORE - hash functions, string handling, environment leveling
<dt> PML - math routines, geometry, linear solvers, etc
<dt> PDB - portable binary data handling
<dt> PPC - portable IPC, RPC, message passing
<dt> PGS - portable graphics and GUI tools
<dt> PANACEA - simulation code services
<dt> SCHEME - a R3RS level SCHEME interpreter library
<dt> SX - a SCHEME with extensions/bindings for all of PACT
<dt> ULTRA - 1d data presentation, manipulation, analysis code
</ul>
