This has nothing to do with PVM:

Groupkit is quite a powerful tool for developing groupware (telecollaboration
applications).  It is built on Tcl/Tk and TclDP (distributed programming
facility which allows RPC, etc.).  It comes with reasonable example programs
which I've found quite useful on their own.  All these tools are free.

It's available via anonymous FTP to ftp.cpsc.ucalgary.ca in the directory
/pub/projects/grouplab/software
