Subject: Patch #4 for PVM version 3.3 is available.
Organization: Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon
Date: 4 Sep 1994 21:05:29 GMT
Message-ID: <34dcqp$bi0@cri.ens-lyon.fr>

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch #4 contains the following enhancements and bug fixes:

+ Can now reset read pointer in pvmfconfig(), pvmftasks().

+ Added UXPM (Fujitsu M780, UXP/M) architecture  - not fully debugged.

. RS6K, POWER4 fortran libraries built with and without trailing '_'
  on function names so that -qextname works.

. Fixed HP300 def - to match HPPA.

. Fixed several broken example programs (missing includes).

. Debugger script now uses "csd" debugger on CNVX machines.

. pvmd script blocks SIGINT on SGI, so fortran applications don't
  kill the pvmd.

. pvmgetarch script finds uname in /bin or /usr/bin.

. Increased filename-length limit in pvmfspawn() to 256 characters.

. pvm_setopt(PvmSelfTraceTid, ) no longer coredumps if task isn't connected.

. Fixed typos in multiprocessor version of pvm_psend().

. Fixed 87th host bug in pvmd; should now be able to start larger virtual
  machines.

. Fixed ALPHAMP port pvmshmem.h.
