I developed and used PVMPOV under PVM 3.3.4 to 3.3.9, but I should think
it works fine under PVM 3.3.11.  What system are you using it on, and what
sorts of problems are you having?

Yes, there have been plans for PVMPOV 3.0 for many months, but unfortunately,
they have remained only plans, as I've been too busy to work on it.  I may
be turning my incomplete code over to some others who are interested in
working on it, but I can't promise that they will get it going at any time
either.

Cheers, Andreas.
