The setting of PVM_DPATH in the example above does NOT work on
my system (RS6K). I have installed pvm3 in an unusual place
(~/SOURCE/pvm3) and I have to set PVM_DPATH to ~/SOURCE/pvm3/lib/pvmd
to start remote pvmd's without specifying the dx parameter
in the hostfile.

Is there an error in the example above or am I missing something?
