Brian,

Thank you for your time. I will put LAM 7.1.1 onto my workstation.

I would like to thank the entire LAM development team for doing such a
great job with LAM-MPI. (I don't have any experience with other MPI
implementations, and my experience with LAM is limited, but I think
you guys are doing a top notch job with this one).
