I'm new in pvm, and I have a question about the sending buffer.
As I understand pvm, pvm_initsend initialises a buffer. With the pvm_pk* 
routines I can put data in it. With pk_send I can send the data in the 
buffer. No my question,
  what is the state of the buffer after the send?
Does the buffer still exists?
If yes is the buffer empty or is the data still in the buffer?

Thanks Juerg.

p.s. I'm using pvm from whithin Modula 2. If somebody is interrested in 
the Modula 2 interface .......
