The problem isn't the need for PVM, it's the difficulty of obtaining PVM in the "recommended" environment. Special bid prereqs for clustering function makes it darn hard to want to use the facilities that are already there. > The change > to use ISFC for that is long overdue. ISFC would be nice, but PVM already supports all the same connection methods that ISFC does, plus a few more that ISFC doesn't. I'd *really* rather not make this dependent on CTCs.
