Subject: APOLOGY and correction


I am sorry that I incorrectly reported the status of the PVS system at
at Ohio State.  I posted a note that I was sent, and without checking
the
information I sent it on.  The PVS group is actively marketing the
system
for both visualization or parallel computation and are pleased
to have Ohio State choose their system.
The work on parallelizing HONDO on the PVS was done by Dave Heisterberg,
with assistance on the structure of the code from the author Michel
DuPuis.  Michel had previously run parallel versions of his
code on LCAP, and on shared memory 3090 systems as well as
on clusters of Risc System/6000's, and therefor I assumed
that since the note had given him some credit that it must
be true.  I am sorry for any misunderstanding that i
created.
