B. Known bugs
-------------

- On some hosts, PVMmake has difficulty finding the wc program.  PVMmake uses
  this program (for packing purposes) to count the number of lines in a file
  that is to be transferred.  If this error occurs, PVMmake will so indicate
  and exit.  In this case, the user should create a symlink in the PVM binary
  directory to the actual location of the wc program.

- On the NIST Cray Y-MP, PVMmake requires the definition of the macro O_RDONLY.
  If PVMmake fails to compile, edit the file jlib.h in the caml_utils directory
  to remove the comment around line 9.

- On rare occations, PADE has produced the error message

invalid command name "FindCmd"

  before creating the main PADE window.  This indicates that either the PADE_ROOT
  environment variable points to the wrong directory, or there is a problem with
  the tclIndex file.  If PADE_ROOT is set correctly, then regenerate the tclIndex
  file by:

host-prompt> tclsh
tcl-prompt> auto_mkindex . *.tcl
tcl-prompt> exit
host-prompt>
