Hi Mike:


   OK, thanks: darn!  And, I may now also have to wait for a Quad-Core AMD
Opteron, Barcelona, Phenom, based PC.
   LAM/MPI has worked for a simple pi evaluation (i.e., William Gropp, et al.:
USING MPI, 1994, & ANL code repository).
   Tempus fugit et ad augusta per angusta.


                  Nil desparare (Gauss),

                  Joseph Roy D. North
                  Le        Roi  Du Nord
                  3220 Duval Road, Apt. 1110
                  Austin, TX 78759-3524, USA

Scientia est Potentia!
