Subject: Patch #6 for PVM version 3.3 is available on Netlib.
Organization: Computer Science Dept, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Date: 21 Dec 1994 22:08:41 GMT
Message-ID: <3da919INN43d@CS.UTK.EDU>


Patch #6 contains the following enhancements and bug fixes:

+ New pvm_setopt() option, PvmShowTids, determines whether pvm_catchout()
  prints task ids along with output.  The default setting is true.  In
  the next release, the default may be changed to false.

+ Added xx586 cpu type to pvmgetarch script.

+ New man page for pvm_getfds().

. Fixed non-blocking socket code on RS6K - caused pvmd to hang.

. CM5 mpp_load() unsets TF_FORKD.

. ALPHAMP.def sets HASSTDLIB flag - caused pvmd to coredump.

. Message "EOF on pvmd sock" no longer printed on halt.

. Fixed typo in pvm_joingroup.3 man page.

. Include <stdlib.h> in various examples.
