[mpich-discuss] genvlist & map is not working in config file

Tue Nov 3 00:26:39 CST 2009

Hi ,

Thanks for making a ticket for this.
BTW, I hope this would also take care of the problem coming for "-map".

/*  -map Y:\\machine-1\abhishek\ won't work but -map Y:\\machine-1\abhishek
works. */

Thanks,
Abhishek.
