CL-PVM Package The CL-PVM package consists of a set of Common Lisp functions that interfaces Common Lisp (KCL, AKCL, or GCL) to the C-based library of PVM. Generally, there is one CL interface function to each PVM C library function. The CL function calls its C-based counter part and relays data to and from the C function. This interface is complete and allows Lisp-based programs to take part in a PVM arrangement and thus facilitates the combination of symbolic, numeric, graphics, and other useful systems in a distributed fashion. CL-PVM also offers a set of tools to help use it effectively with Lisp and MAXIMA tasks. Documentation, on-line manual pages, and examples are also included. After FTPing the file /pub/wang/clpvm.tar.gz from ftp.mcs.kent.edu: (1) gunzip clpvm.tar.gz to produce clpvm.tar (2) tar xvf clpvm.tar to obtain the clpvm root directory containing all files (3) read clpvm/report/article.tex (4) clpvm.tar can be deleted
