PVM has also been out for years. I can't say anything more in comparison because I don't know anything about LSF... and not much about PVM either :). Anyway, you'll have to take that up with the PVM folks. md> Nevertheless, I'm definitely taking a look at the pages you suggested. You should consider integrating LSF support directly with GNU make; check out the remote-cstms.c and the one provided by PVM; it should be quite straightforward to provide a "remote-lsf.c" file that can enable distributed builds through LSF. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
