1) The MPI sources can be obtained from anonymous FTP:
	info.mcs.anl.gov

   This is for the Argonne/Mississippi State portable implementation.
In addition, EPCC in Edinburgh has their own implementation; IBM has
its own product under development.  Ohio State has their LAM-based
MPI.  We at MSU have a second subset MPI implementation (independent of
all other code), that works inside PVM, available very soon (called
UNIFY).  UNIFY will be announced on this newsgroup.

2) The standard draft can be obtained from anonymous FTP:
	netlib2.cs.utk.edu
[Anything available in this manner should also work from the regular
NETLIB or XNETLIB interface there, but I have not tried this strategy.]

3) Mosaic is not needed, but provides an excellent interface to the MPI
manual, so if you should have mosaic, the URL is
	http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/index.html
