hi to all,

pvm-experts I've a question for you! Do you know if exist a tool or a
library for PVM to realize the remote method invocation? If yes from where I
can download it?

I've already looked for it but I have only found sciddle (an ETH tool) but
sciddle realize only remote procedure call and use C. I need to interface
PVM to C++ and use the Remote method Invocation. 

Yes! I already know that I can encapsulate a method in a function and then
use sciddle to perform the rpc for such a method, but there are several
problem when such method need objects as parameters, and I must write a
general project (a prototipe for an extension to C++) and I don't want lose
time to write several (and specific) routines to marshal and unmarshal such
parameters or to implement the rmi.

Thank in advance for your help (please reply to me by e-mail, also)

					Walter
