Hello everybody.

I have a question.

A pvm application needs to read an environment variable in order
to execute. When this program is spawned on remote hosts the variable 
is not there and the application terminates. More or less from
what I know this is expectable, provided that i use ksh.
Is it possible to set environment variables with this shell in a
situation as the one described above? Another shell like like csh
can remedy this problem?

Thanks a lot
