Is there any magic required to get a hosts file to work with NT? (V4,
SP4). I've tried sundry variations on the regular format, i.e.:

hostname.net

and,

hostname.net dx=c:\progra~1\pvm3.4\lib\pvmd3.exe

and,

hostname.net dx=lib\pvmd3.exe

and,

hostname.net dx=c:/progra~1/pvm3.4/lib/pvmd3.exe

and,

hostname.net dx=lib/pvmd3.exe

But whenever I invoke "c:\>pvm pvmhosts.txt", it just sits there never
giving me a prompt. (I've also tried the "&hostname.net variations"

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks
