I doubt it's nearly as complicated as you claim. All you have to do is tell the system to envoke a set of jobs which is a fairly straight forward thing to do (it's not much harder then envoking rsh and you could easily write a simple wrapper that provided rsh symantics if it doesn't exist already.) > My suggestion consequently still stands: Please someone, add PVM > to /usr/bin/make. If someone adds it, that would be cool, I just think a better solution isn't likely to be all that difficult. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
