NOTES

23       This  function is deprecated.  It has been replaced with an MPI-2 func‐
24       tion (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same func‐
25       tionality.   This  function  is  (or  effectively  is) a wrapper to the
26       replacement function, anyway.   User  programs  should  use  the  MPI-2
27       replacement function instead of this function.
28
29       Some  functions  are  deprecated because their names did not conform to
30       the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated because
31       they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.

40       contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.   These  docu‐
41       ments  contain  detailed  information  about each MPI function (most of
42       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

50       to  generate  man  pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sow‐
51       ing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text  for
52       most of the MPI-1 man pages.
