Hi,
  I would like to be able to set a few environment variables on the
host that I want a given process to be spawn on BEFORE I spawn the process.
In other words, I would like to have the env structure associated with the
forked process to be augmented with a few of my own, application-specific,
env vars. I have looked at pvmd and would like to have pvmd do a
few "pvmputenv()" for me before it execv'es the process. Any way to do this?
Or did I miss something real easy in the manual.

cheers,
Edmond
