But I couldn't get any reply. At that time, I used 'ep' and 'wd' options on host files on windows system. When adding hosts on windows machines, the working directory is set to PVM_TMP directory. So I thought that is PVM bug. I examined the ddpro.c and hoster.c etc... and I concluded that the problem results from the difference of presentation of directory convension (/ and \) between unix and windows. In PVM windows, '/' and '\' make confuse... I have tested win95 and win98 and winNT. There is the same problem. The solution of this problem must be made by PVM group. > -- > Ralf Kuebler, Institute B of Mechanics, University of Stuttgart > Pfaffenwaldring 9, D-70550 Stuttgart, phone/fax: (+49)-711-685-6396/6400 > mailto:rk@mechb.uni-stuttgart.de > http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/UNIuser/mechb/people/Kuebler/ -- Lee, Bo-sung Ph.D Candidate in Aerospace Eng.
