Hi,

I got actually 2 questions, hoping someone would be able to point me the direction, thanks
in advance.

Q1: If I have an array of SGI indigos on the local network.  If I started up pvm on one machine,
    I can not add the other.  These machines are sitting in the same lab.  I did login every
    machine and make sure that /tmp directory has no pvm-related files exist.  I also checked
    each machine to make sure that they are not running pvm under me.  Are there any other 
    possible causes that might have something to do with it? like network arch.?

Q2: I have a stand-alone file that plots.  It opens an window and calls a FORTRAN routine 
    to read data, then come back to C and plot.   By executing it along, it works fine.  Now
    the problem is that when I use another test driver (in FORTRAN, for later integration with
    a major program in FORTRAN) to SPAWN this plot routine, it starts, and it die right after
    it go into the FORTRAN call to read data.  Even I put the first line in this FORTRAN routine
    to print*, "I AM ALIVE", it just did not uter a word.  Any clue?

I appreciate your time and advices.  Thanks.
