I am sorry, but to port PVM to MSDOS doesn't make any sense. MSDOS is
single tasking operating system and in PVM you have deamon process and
console process and user processes ... But if you don't mind trying OS2
I have ported PVM to OS2 (that definitely supports MCA machines :-).
If you are interested, take a look at the site ftp-os2.cdrom.com in
the directory /pub/os2/2_x/program, file caled pvm3os2b.zip.
