I have produced a thickish binding 

  ftp://ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pub/kst/AdaPVM2.tar.gz

Not all PVM features are implemented but there is a thin binding to
the C interface. One feature is the use of Ada.Streams to perform
the message packing/unpacking.

I have tested the system on Sparcs connected by Ethernet and on the
Meiko-CS2. It will be tested on the IBM SP2 in future.

I hope this helps
Ken
