It happens that I CAN start up PVM daemons on the Windows NT Workstations as slaves of a master PVM daemon on one of the Linux systems: [tony@srvr05 tony]$ $PVM_ROOT/lib/LINUX/pvm pvm> conf 1 host, 1 data format HOST DTID ARCH SPEED DSIG srvr05.weland 40000 LINUX 1000 0x00408841 pvm> add "srvr19.weland lo=\\weland\tony dx=d:\apps\pvm\lib\WIN32\pvmd3.exe" Console: exit handler called 1 successful HOST DTID srvr19.weland lo=\\weland\tony dx=d:\apps\pvm\lib\WIN32\pvmd3.exe 80000 pvm> conf 2 hosts, 1 data format HOST DTID ARCH SPEED DSIG srvr05.weland 40000 LINUX 1000 0x00408841 srvr19.weland 80000 WIN32 1000 0x00408841 pvm> delete srvr19.weland 1 successful HOST STATUS srvr19.weland deleted pvm> halt Terminated [tony@srvr05 tony]$ So, does this mean that in the realm of PVM, Linux rules over NT? Still, just for completeness' sake, it would be nice to be able to have an NT box host the master pvmd.
