Hi friends:

I am now using pvm and fortran 90 to do parallel programming.
But i have some problems to consult with you.

one is does pvm routine can only be called from the main program?when i
test pvm, i found it can only work well in the main , if in subroutine,
the data can't be tranfered successfully.

another is when i try to send large data including integer and double
decision from master program to slave program(although also in the main
program)it can't work well.the data always not sucessfully.Can anyone tell
me how yo tranfer data in the master and slave program(for diferent kinds
of data and larger quntities)

thanks
