I have implemented the PVM3 using ansi C.
So, it can be compiled under any operating system that has an ansi C compiler.
The package is intended only for program developement.
Multitasking is simulated.
It has several limitations compared to the UNIX standard.
Several properties:
  - A lot of processes can be simulated (in my Linux machine, 50000 without
                problem).
  - It is fast.
  - It is small (distribution file: 47 k).
  - Task are auto-synchronized.
  - Debugging of n tasks in a single window.
I have tested it under DOS, unsing Borland C 3.1, and under Linux, IRIX and
HP/UX.
You can obtain it via ftp from:
   moon.inf.uji.es
directory:
  pub/parallel
files:
  pvm3ansi.DOS-BC31.exe         (auto-extraction)
  pvm3ansi.linux.tar.gz

Enjoy-it.
