Made a copy of the original pman_vis directory.

Pointed the compiler and linker at the appropriate directories in the binary installation directory structure.

Changed mpid.lib to mpi.lib.

Compile and link went just fine. An attempt at running the program (pressed ! in Vistual Studio) yielded the error, "The application failed to initialize properly."

The cpi project went well using this approach but pman_vis is a C++ program. When I tried another C++ program using the cpi project setup, the same error occurred. That is why I switched to looking at pman_vis, since cpi is a C program.

Like as not I am missing something in Visual Studio. Would appreciate your insights.    Thanks.
