In reference to a previous question (pvmd and hostfile), the problem is not
getting the pvmd to read the hostfile (it does).  It appears as though the
"ep=path" does not recognize programs which are in subdirectories beneath
that path.  

For example, suppose you set ep=/advance/sys/exe

and you have a program you wish to spawn in /advance/sys/exe/fxydecon/fxydecon.exe

Your client program tries to spawn using the program name "fxydecon/fxydecon.exe"
This fails because PVM cannot find it.

Have any of you had a similar problem?
