Hello Darren,

I hope this reply doesn't come too late! I'm currently encapsulating pvm
with c++ (in fact it's far more than a simple encapsulation!). This doesn't mean 
that you don't use anymore c standard pvm functions for basic structures, 
but I think it's a very convenient way of passing messages to/from a cluster
in order to build a true protocole for example.

At this point, there are 3 classes which are very linked to each other, using templates and inheritance. I will submit the code for testing by the end of next week, 
since the asynchronous sending mode is still buggy.

Best regards
