Dear Sir/Madam:

    This is Frank Qiu from Texas A&M University.  I have set up the pvm
and could add host between two  Window95 machines.  But I do not know
which program is good to test all these setting.  So I decided to use
hello program to test it.  When I use the executable file, with only one
computer which is the master, it will give me the message hello and from
ns.tamu.edu.  when I tried to use two of them, the master will stuck and
the slave will show a illegal operation, check assert function in VC.
What is wrong with it?  I tried other programs in the Examples
directory, some of the stuck and some got through, but it is still hard
to tell if any of the run correctly as there is no message telling me.

    The other problem is during the compilation of the hello program
with hello.c code.  I am using Visual C++ 5.0 but as I am not familar
with the VC,  I am having a hard time to tell which library to use. I
got the following error mLinking...
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_exit
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_upkstr
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_bufinfo
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_recv
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_spawn
Hello.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pvm_mytid
Debug/Hello.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 6 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.essages:

    Please tell me what to do and why these happening.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

Regards,
