Dear Professor Ripley

The good news is that I fot PVM up and running one two
Windows nodes now. I had to connect them with each
other manually ..... for now not using rsh or ssh.

Now building RPVM for Windows might not be so easy as
it sounds. Did anyone try this out before
successfully?

Also the SNOW package but that did not look so bad.

Regards
Lars
