I have some trouble getting pvm3.4 beta5 to run under a clusters of NT
workstation.  It seems it has some problems with communicating with the
console.  The timing.exe and timing_slave.exe program just wouldn't
complete (it hang there forever).  It did seem pvm start timing_slave on

the remote hosts.  I have the same problem either I spawn the task
within
the pvm prompt or in the command prompt.  Could someone give me some
pointers here?  Does anyone have any success with PVM3.4 under NT?

By the way, my hosts include a Pentium and three dual Pentium Pro
workstations.  I use NT4.0 SP3 and ataman rshd.
