I am porting some software written for Transputers to Solaris 2.3 and PVM.  

The original code involves parallel communication with a number of different
processes.  Ideally I would use multiple threads to implement this but PVM 
does not appear to support multiple threads.  

Has anyone out there tried to use PVM with multiple threads or modify it to
support multiple threads?

I would also like to know if there is any limit to buffering within PVM, or
whether it contimues to allocate buffers until it runs out of memory?

Neil
