It implements now all (or most of all, one or two might be missing) pvm functions, including groups functions. It is now a pvm type-safe implementation ; we have added pvm_pkobj and pvm_upkobj for transferring any data from an ocaml program to another using Marshalling. The distribution includes two utilities: daemons and mailboxes, based on PVM. We use it everyday and it is (I think) extremely stable. What is missing? The documentation. But it is fairly compatible with Pvm doc.
