Honorable Jan Nijtmans:

=Tcl/Tk-users
=     PVM is a library for controlling a virtual parallel machine which
=     consists of any number of hosts. Processes can spawn and kill each
=     other and communicate through a pvm-channel. It can be compared with
=     the Tk 'send' command, only it works with sockets. Therefore it runs
=     without Tk (X11), and the processes can use different displays and run
=     on different hosts. In addition, pvmsh takes control of the event loop
=     from Tcl, while pvmwish does the same with Tk.

Does it eliminate a need in TCL-DP?
