Hello,

 First let me apologize for posting a message yesterday. I really did
 mean to mail that reply. Sorry.

 I have a question I hope someone may be able to help me with. I'm
working with a workstation and Pc cluster with a mix of Sun Ultra's
Super Sparcs , Sparc 10 all running solaris 2.5 and two 12 processor
SGI's ( Power chanlleng and a Power Oynx). There are also two 200Mhz
Pc running NT on this cluster. I have two applications which would be
perfect for a parallel platform. I'm currently looking at using either
MPI or PVM for message passing. My only experience with MPI is on a Cray
T3E. I was wondering if someone had experience with both MPI and PVM
on a heterogeneous cluser and if there is a preference of one over the
other.

Thanks Len DeCarlo
