Project description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DivConq Framework is a foundation for building applications using
elastic architecture.  These are applications that may need to scale from
one server to many.  The methodology is to enable seamless integration 
and coordination across distributed, heterogeneous systems.  This may include
tiers (e.g. DMZ and LAN) and may include geographies (WAN, cloud, hybrid).

As of 0.4.5 however, DivConq is mostly a Java Connector for GT.M (MUMPS)
coupled with an optional database structure for use within MUMPS.

For more information see http://divconq.com/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  * Java >= 1.6 (OpenJDK and Sun have been tested)
  * Third Party libraries in lib folder, see NOTICE.txt
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting started
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need both a GT.M (MUMPS) capable machine (Linux) and a Java capable
machine (e.g. Windows or Linux).  May be the same machine, of course.

For information on how to setup M and Java, and to test connectivity,
see the DivConq Getting Started page:
