I hope one of you can help me on the following:
Can I send empty messages with pvm ? The receiving task only
needs to know the message tag of the incoming message. Will pvm
complain or just drop the empty buffer ?

An example would look like:

	call pvmfinitsend(encoding,buffer)	
	call pvmfsend(tid,messagetag,info)

where messagetag contains an integer value needed by the task
identified with tid.
Any ideas ?
TIA
			Axel
