Help
	Here's a list of the things I have done to TRY to get pvm3 up:

	1. Discover that there was a new version and a set of tests

	2. Remove any reference to pvm3.2.6 from my enviroment
		a. path
		b. PVM_ROOT
		c. PVM_ARCH
		d. LD_LIBRARY_PATH
		e. LD_OPTIONS

	3. set up a .cshrc that set the above shell variables correctly

	4. compile pvm3 for each style of machine we have 

	(This required editing the Makefile so the cc compiler is used
	 instead of gcc)

		a. sun 4 running SunOs 4.1.3
		b. sun 4 single CPU running SunOs 5.2
		c. sun 4 multiprocessor running SunOs 5.2

	5. install links to $PVM_ROOT/bin/$PVM_ARCH/pvmgs in 
		~/pvm3/bin/$PVM_ARCH


	...

	N. Run pvm_test

		a. currently the tests pass for machines runing 4.1.3
		    this occured while ~/pvm3/bin/SUN4/pvmgs pointed to
		    version 3.2.6

		b. Multiprocessor pvm_tests crash during start up in a
		   critical section

		c. Single processor Solaris pvm_tests can't add another host

	N+1. Run My skeletal pvm program (yet to be tried)

		Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated
