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.
