Dear PVM Users:

I have question reagrdiung the Pvm_spawn Policy. The manual says that 
the processes are assigned in round robin fashion to the available 
hosts. It is not really very clear to me. Does it mean that for 
ten machines m1, m2, m3.... and hundered process 1...100:

(A) For m1: 1, 10, 20, 30,.....
and for m2: 2, 20, 30, 40,.....
(B) For m1: 1, 2, ...10
    For m2: 11, 12, 13, ...20


Will (A) happen or (B). Please illustrate. Also drop emailo to my 
address too! Shaikh@ece.utexas.edu


Thanks
