Hello every body,

is this a bug or a feature?

First, I have not read anything about this in the
PVM3 USER'GUIDE (in the discussion of pvm_setopt
neither in the paragraph 10.4.12 Message Direct Routing.

It is not possible to use:
setopt(PvmRoute,PvmRouteDirect)
if you link your program with libgpvm3.a

Just try with the programs timing and timing_slave of the
distribution and you will obtain:

~/pvm3/bin/SUN4/timing
i'm t40001
libpvm [t40001]: mxfer() setsockopt: Option not supported by protocol
slave is task t40002
...
