ANNOUNCE: final release of tkpvm (version 1.0)

[Jan Nijtmans]

The final release of Tkpvm (version 1.0) is available now. It can
be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.nici.kun.nl/pub/tkpvm/tkpvm1.0.README
ftp://ftp.nici.kun.nl/pub/tkpvm/tkpvm1.0.tar.gz

This package is an interface between Tcl7.5/Tk4.1 and Pvm3.3.x. It
fully supports dynamical loading as provided by Tcl7.5.

For Tcl/Tk users:
PVM (= Parallel Virtual Machine) is a library for handling
a number of machines as if it were a single machine. It has
functions for spawning and controlling processes on other
hosts. Also very flexible commands are available to communicate
with other probesses. For people who find Tk's "send" command
too restrictive and directly accessing sockets too difficult,
this extension might be the solution.

For PVM users:
Tcl/Tk is a flexible scripting language with a graphical toolkit.
With this package is becomes very easy to create a graphical
user interface for PVM processes. But because Tcl is also an
full-featured interpreted programming language, it can be used
to create PVM-processes without the need for compiling any more.
Very usefull for fast prototyping. This distribution contains
everything needed to compile PVM as a shared library. (libpvm3.so,
libpvm3.sl, libpvm3..o or libpvm3_G0.a, dependent on which system
you have)

More information is accessible through the tkpvm home-page:
