Hi !

I just wrote some simple teststuff to time pvm_pk*()...
The nest thing to be measured is pvm_upk*()...

The manpages are using the terms send buffer and receive buffer...
Are they different ?

I'd like to test pvm_upk*() without a network connection. I.e.: I want
to time a loop like this

	pvm_initsend(...)
	pvm_pk*(...)
        pvm_upk*(...)

to avoid network delays. But this short thing wo'nt work, as the default
send buffer is not equal to the default receive buffer...

May I use pvm_setrbuf/setsbuf to set a send buffer as active receive
buffer ?

Bye...
       Ulf.
