Does PVM allow dynamic resizing of the processor pooL?

That is, say I have a rather large ( > 1000 hrs) simulation running.
Three nice new PIII 500's arrive.  Can I plug em in and share the load?
Could I also yank some of the older processors for repairs, upgrades,
etc?

Assuming of course i've set up the master program correctly and the new
slaves are running the correct processes.

Thanks,

Josh
