+This the MPD language for Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed
+Programming. Installation instructions are in the file doc/install.html.
+
+Language documentation can be found at the MPD home on the web,
+ http://www.cs.arizona.edu/mpd
+
+MPD was inspired by the book:
+ Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming
+ Gregory R. Andrews
+ Addison-Wesley, 2000 (ISBN 0-201-35752-6)
+
+The MPD implementation is based on version 2.3.2 of the SR programming
+language. The syntax has changed, but the internals are essentially
+the same except for a massive renaming. Accordingly MPD is limited by
+the features of SR and does not correspond exactly to the MPD book.
+
+Much of the SR implementation documentation is still valid. It can be
+found at:
+ http://www.cs.arizona.edu/sr/doc.html
