Geraint Jones has made an updated version available for free online:
  http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/people/geraint.jones/publications/book/Pio2/

The KRoC and Transterpreter implementations of occam-pi are open-source
and available for a variety of operating systems. KRoC is included with
some Linux distributions, but it's under active development, so you're
probably better off downloading the latest version from us:
  http://projects.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/kroc/

The examples from the book will work directly in KRoC provided you wrap
them in an appropriate top-level process (e.g. "PROC main (CHAN BYTE
out)") -- but the extra facilities available in occam-pi over occam 2
can be used to simplify a lot of the code.
