If you installed pvm3.3.11 version in both systems with proper rsh daemon, the instruction of your setting is correct. But in my experience, pvm3.4 version on win95 machine has some problem in adding hosts which are linux systems. So I installed 3.3.11. 3.3.11 version of win95/NT is not install shield version, but after making directory and untar and unzip it, and set environment variables, then you can make virtual machine successfully. I construct virtual machine as one win95 machine, one winNT machine, a linux system, and a SGI origin 2000 with 4 processors, a CrayT3E with 128 PE's and a CrayC90 with 16 processors. All pvm version's are PVM3.3.11 except crayT3E which has native pvm version (3.3.10) Good luck. --------------------------------- Bo-sung Lee ETRI/Super Computer Center, Korea e-mail : bslee@pvmcube4.snu.ac.kr ---------------------------------
