I am trying to use WMPI 1.2 as follows:

Executable written in Borland Delphi calls a subroutine in Fortran dll.
This subroutine calls MPI_INIT to setup a group specified in procgrp
file. Call to MPI_INIT causes exception. Does WMPI allow this
configuration or each participating program must be written in C or
Fortran? The other questions I have is how to deal with the fact that
configuration files may not be accurate. Is there anything in MPI to
allow to use only active hosts? I am new to MPI, so my appologies if
this is obvious.

Thanks,
Alex
