1)  If I have some program running in the background and I want it to
look at a file/directory for new jobs to run on pvm (similar to lobosq),
what is the best way to tell when a job is complete?  I have thought
about calling pvm_conf() and checking for the TID, but if this is being
done every 15-30 secs, this seems to me that it would get expensive.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

2)  Is it possible to compile programs to dynamically include pvm3.h
instead of statically linking it (I'm using gcc).  Some of my very
small, simple programs are not so small when compiled.  My smallest
program is 340000+ bytes.  Also, I assume that if I link dynamically,
then the libpvm3.a file needs to be in the same directory for all the
computers.  Again, any help with this would be appreciated.

TIA!

Chris
