+cat << EOF
+PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software package that permits a heterogeneous
+collection of Unix and/or NT computers hooked together by a network to be used as
+a single large parallel computer, a ``virtual machine''. Thus large computational
+problems can be solved more cost effectively by using the aggregate power and
+memory of many computers. Applications can be composed of any number of separate
+processes, or components, written in a mixture of C, C++ and Fortran.
