- PVM is one of the most widely used platforms for heterogeneous distributed
- computing. 10 machines is definitely no limit and now that PVM got
- TCP/IP connections it really is a joy. Also "printf"-style debugging
- works well since the output is send back to the output of the master
- daemon and each line prefixed by the machine name.

- I'd be interested in you list of limitations.
