Executable Names.

In order to keep track of the various possible configurations, executable and their corresponding libraries are named as follows. The name of the master module, along with all other modules compiled in with the master, is set in the makefile. For the other modules, default names are typically used, since these names have to be hard-coded in order for PVM to correctly spawn the corresponding processes. In the fully distributed version, the default names are tm, lp, cg, and cp. For other configurations, the executable name is a combination of all the modules that were compiled together joined by underscores. In other words, if the LP and the cut generator modules were compiled together (i.e. COMPILE_IN_CG set to TRUE), then the executable name would be ``lp_cg'' and the corresponding library file would be called ``liblp_cg.a.'' You can rename the executables as you like. However, if you are using PVM to spawn the modules, as in the fully distributed version, you must set the parameters *_exe in the parameter file to the new executable names. See Section 5.2.4 for information on setting parameters in the parameter file.
