I'm afraid the parallel code, as it is included in 4.06, is not quite
working, yet. We included it in 4.06 in order to have it in the mainstream
of the development. Now, the good news is that since 4.06 was released I
managed to produce a running version of GUM 4.06 in our installation here
at Heriot-Watt. At the moment I am stress testing this version. Simple
parallel programs are running quite merrily, but there are the occasional
problems with larger programs I am tracking down as we speak. Therefore I
haven't officially released this current version. But overall we should be
within weeks of a release of the parallel code. 

I am delighted to hear that there are people out there planning to use
GPH and GUM straight away! So, I'll push that much harder to have a 
pick-and-play version available as soon as possible.

Cheers,
