On a LINUX machine I start the PVM-console and say:

add "hertz.mechb.uni-stuttgart.de
dx=/programme/pvm3/lib/win32/pvmd3.exe
ep=/winnt/profiles/rk/pvm/beispiel/win32
wd=/winnt/profiles/rk/pvm/beispiel/win32"

After starting my program on LINUX it turns out that the
PVM-dameon was started on the NT maschine, also the
corresponding executable in the directory specified by
"ep=..." was started. But unfortunately PVM wo'nt use
the working directory specified by "wd=...", instead
it will use "/programme/pvm3" as the working directory.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
It seems to be a Bug in PVM!
