This is version 0.2 of ZRAM, a parallel search framework.

ZRAM was written by Ambros Marzetta as part of his Ph.D. at ETH Zuerich.

Since then I have done some minor maintenence in order to use it in my own
projects.  

The best documentation for ZRAM is Ambros's thesis, which is 
available from 

	http://www.cs.unb.ca/profs/bremner/zram/th12699.ps.gz


Part of what has changed since Ambros's original release of the software
is the build process.

To build

./configure
make


to build with MPI (to actually run in parallel!)

./configure --with-mpi
make

Unfortunately the current build process only supports MPI. The code
_should_ support all of the original platforms, but this is untested.

Note that there is now a library "libzram.a" that you can link with 
your applications.  This library contains a main function; your 
application should define mmain, as before.
