Hi,

I too am going through the same dilemma PVM -vs- MPI. Though it is my belief 
that both MPI and PVM are conceptually similar so it will be easy to learn the
other one. However for the time being I want to concentrate only on one. So
any suggestions/advise in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Mohit
