hi,
	you have to spawn all your processes with mpprun:
    mpprun -n <number of processes> <your program> <the arguments>
There's a man.
	Another way is to compile your program with the -X options:
	cc -X<number of processes> <src.c> -o <run file>
In this case, the number of processes are fixed, and when you type the
name of your program, there are as many processes as you specify on
compilation.
You can see that in the man.

In your program source, you have not to use pvm_spawn().
All the processes belong to a group : "".
And the process number is the processor number; you have it with: nmr =
pvm_get_PE(TID);

Hope these will help you.

Fabien.
