Software to aid the distribution and coordination of tasks between different processors was developed to distribute applications written in Fortran. This development led to the discovery of problems unique to Fortran and to interesting practical solutions. Two graphical applications were distributed to a variety of machines and machine pairs: CDC 7600-LSI/11, Cray-LSI/11, VAX 11/780, and Apollo. These distributions pointed out several parameters such as the use of Fortran Common, communication parameters, and processing capabilities that can affect the successful distribution of applications.
