New LAM package -- 6.3




Greetings!  Lam 6.3 is now available, as is the accompanying
xmpi-2.2.  Please test.  This version has some very useful new
features.

	Added ROMIO MPI I/O package (chapter 9 from the MPI-2
		standard) from the Argonne National Laboratory.
        Added the MPI-2 C++ bindings package (chapter 10
	        from the MPI-2 standard) from the Laboratory for
	        Scientific Computing at the University of Notre
	        Dame.  
	Pseudo-tty support for remote IO (e.g.,
		line buffered output).  
	Ability to pass environment variables through mpirun.  
	Ability to mpirun shell scripts/debuggers/etc. (that
	        eventually run LAM/MPI programs).  
	Ability to execute non-MPI programs across the multicomputer.
        Added configurable ability to zero-fill internal
	        LAM buffers before they are used (for development
	        tools such as Purify).  
	Greatly expanded error messages; provided for customizable local help
	        files.  
	Expanded and updated documentation.
        Wrapper compilers now use same compilers as in ./configure.  
	Made -lmpi implicit in wrapper compilers.  
	Fixed compatibility problems with some compilers.  
	Fixed problem with some compilers not
	        getting prototypes properly from <mpi.h>.  
	Various bug fixes (see the HISTORY file).


Take care,
