Summary: Does anyone have a mpi to pvm conversion library?

after much work, we have come to the conclusion that our code just
will not work in mpi.  we know the code works, as it was originally
written on an ncube.  thus, we have either found a few bugs in mpi
or we haven't gotten the hang of mpi yet or both.  so, we have to
re-write the code in pvm.

my question is, has anyone had experience in porting mpi code to pvm?
while the optimal method would be a 'drop-in' library, i am looking
for any hints as i do this daunting task.  i do lots of pvm knowledge
and kind-of know mpi.  

the major mpi functions needed are Bcast, Allreduce, Bsend, Recv.
the only data types are float and int(only in recv and send).  

i thank everyone for any hints.
