Hey All,

Thanks for all the good bug reports and suggestions regarding
XPVM, keep them coming!  :-)

I have another patch for XPVM, bringing us up to 1.0.3 now.
The patch should be on netlib (as usual) sometime this afternoon.

The new patch fixes the extremely silly bug in the utilization
view which I introduced in the last patch, plus cleans up a few
random bugs here and there:

	* You can now have blank lines in hostfiles.  :-)

	* Hosts added to PVM while in Playback mode no longer
		show up in the middle of your playback...  :-]

	* Trace files are not inadvertently overwritten without
		prompting the user any more (few bizarre cases).

	* All of XPVM's windows now behave as one - doing a WM_DELETE
		will bring down ALL of XPVM, and iconifying the main
		XPVM window brings down all view windows, too.  :-}

	* The Task Output View now saves state when lowered, so task
		output is not lost when the view is off, but rather
		recovered and displayed when the view is later turned
		on again.

I've also edited a few things on the on-line help text, including a
correct explanation of how to trace Non-XPVM spawned tasks.

Good Luck!  Let me know if anything explodes...  :-)

Thanks,

	Jim
