Hi,

on one of the mpi (lam) homepages there is a list of 
"TOP 10 reasons why one should use mpi instead of pvm".
Now this list is on the MPI Homepage and of course doesn't 
state anything about why one should use pvm instead of mpi.

I am currently trying to decide which system to use and ask you 
to give me arguments for pvm. I am a newbie in this area and
quite helpless at the moment.
But I surely only want to read the detailed documentation of one system.

Thanks for your help, Juergen
