  I'm trying to spawn a process with pvm_spawn and as long as the
executable resides in ~/pvm3/ARCH  and I specify only the name
of the executable in the call then it works fine.

  But if I try to place the executable somewhere else and give a
full pathname, pvm_spawn doesn't seem to like it.  Is there some
way to have the executable reside somewhere other than the
default location and launch it with pvm_spawn?

  Thanks,
    Mike
