Here's the agenda for the 1994 User's Group Meeting
 ( I put the distribution on my last post to usa. Thought our
   friends in rest of the world might want one also! Sorry for posting this
   twice)

                       1994 PVM Users' Group Meeting
                           Oak Ridge, Tennessee
               May 19-20, 1994, Garden Plaza Hotel, Oak Ridge, TN


                              Sponsored by
             Department of Energy      University of Tennessee

             with support from Cray Research, Convex, and Intel

     The second PVM Users' Group Meeting will be held May 19th and 20th,
     1994, at the Garden Plaza Hotel, Oak Ridge, TN.  The meeting
     will provide an opportunity for users of PVM to meet each other,
     share ideas and experiences, and meet the members of the PVM Team.
