	I was writing a program when I found out that I would need
multipule pvmds per machine.   I know I can pull this off using the host
file like so:

  & acme
  &$ acme2 ip=<ip of acme>
  
Where acme2 is a pvmd running on acme.  My concern is that I then have
a static list of hosts in which I can use.  Reading the man pages I
noticed that pvm_addhosts mentions that you can include hosts as they
would appear in the host file:  
       The names should have the same syntax  as  lines
       of  a  pvmd  hostfile (see man page for pvmd3): A hostname
       followed by options of the form xx=y.

I could not get this to work.  I was hoping someone would know if I am
just using the wrong sintax for the addhosts or if it can not be done.
