Because I could think of nothing better, and because the FAQ recommended
it, I recompiled libpvm3 for Windows on Microsoft Developer Studio. The
reason is, when I linked my program I got a bunch of unresolved symbols.
I'd hoped that compiling everything on the same platform would clear
that up, but the same symbols were unresolved after I rebuilt the
library!

What's weird is, some of these symbols aren't found anywhere in the PVM
source code. Those that are, of course, are never defined. I'm afraid
I'm missing some critical system include file or something that has
these symbols in it. If anyone recognizes them, or knows of any
preprocessor variables I should set when compiling for Windows, please
let me know.

My compiler errors are:
