%X The development of a PowerPC port of the KRoC (portable
   occam compiler) is described. As well as the basic port, a
   multiprocessor run time system provides services for user
   programs, including efficient occam channels between
   distributed processes, natural access to host file systems
   and TCP/IP network sockets. Optimization of target assembly
   code is discussed, with methods for removing the
   inefficiencies introduced by the KRoC translation process.
