This routine sends a message stored in the active buffer to the PVM process identified by tid . The routine is asynchronous so computation on the sending processor resumes as soon as the message has been sent. This routine sets automatic printing of error messages for all subsequent PVM calls by the calling process. The executable must already reside on the host on which it is to be started. On return the array contains tids of the PVM processes started by this call.
Error code is generated in the array if there is a error starting a given task.
This routine starts ntask copies of the executable named task . Debugger is a shell script that users can modify. Presently the script starts an xterm with dbx. The arguments are defined in the pvmfpack routine. Messages should be unpacked as they were packed to ensure data integrity.
