WinMPI is an implementation of MPI for Windows, done as (I think) a Masters
thesis.  You can get it at the URL:

	ftp://csftp.unomaha.edu/pub/rewini/WinMPI

I don't think this version is extremely optimal - it seemed more for
development of parallel programs.  I wouldn't expect a PC/Windows combo
to be optimal anyhow :).

For Linux, you could use MPICH (in fact, WinMPI is based mainly on MPICH).
