 I want to start using PVM on a SUNMP and a SUN3.  I've installed it on the
SUNMP and I can start the program. When I type CONF I can see that the MP's 
attached.  The problem is that I can't ADD the SUN3. The error message
that I get within PVM when I try to do this is "Can't start pvmd".  I can
rsh between the two machines without any difficulty.

As per the U.G., I've tried typing: 
rsh SUN3name $PVM_ROOT/lib/pvmd
from the SUNMP and I get an error message saying that the config files
for SUN3 were not found in the MP's pvm3/lib directory:

/home/...rest of path/pvm3/lib/SUN3/pvmd3: not found 

Indeed, there's no SUN3 directory there -- only one for the SUNMP.

In my .cshrc file on the SUNMP, I appended: 

setenv PVM_ROOT /home/..rest of path/pvm3
 
and then the stub that was in the src directory.  I un-commented out:
       set path=($path $PVM_ROOT/lib)            # generic
and 
       set path=($path $PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH)

How do I create the right files for use with the SUN3 and tell
PVM where they are?  This thing does work eventually, right?

Any help much appreciated.  Thanks, Cecelia DeLuca
