In collaboration with both Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc. and Army High
-Performance Computing Research Center, we are please to announce the release
of Version 3.3.2 PVM over ATM networks. The current version required Fore 
Systems' ATM cards for SUN workstations and is limited to a Fore Systems
local ATM network. We are working on PVM over other ATM cards and PVM over
wide area ATM networks (with the support of US WEST).

MOTIVATION:
   Transparently run PVM user programs over ATM networks and fully utilize
   the high bandwidth of ATM networks.

KEY FEATURES:
   PVM 3.3.2 compatible
   Message passing using either ATM AAL3/4, ATM AAL5 or original PVM (TCP/UDP)
   Implemented on Fore Systems' ATM API instead of BSD socket interface
   Multicasting capability for PVM Daemon processes
   Improved communication performance
