NAME
       MPIL_Spawn -  LAM/MPI-specific function to spawn MPI processes

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPIL_Spawn(MPI_Comm comm, char *schema, int root,
	       MPI_Comm *intercomm)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm   - Source communicator (handle)
       schema - character string LAM app schema
       root   - root node (integer)

OUTPUT PARAMETER
       intercomm
	      - new intercommunicator spanning comm and the MPI_COMM_WORLD of the new processes

NOTES
       This  function  is  deprecated.	 It  has been replaced with an MPI-2 function (see the "See also" section, below), which provides the same
       functionality.  This function is (or effectively is) a wrapper to the replacement function, anyway.  User programs  should  use	the  MPI-2
       replacement function instead of this function.

       Some  functions	are  deprecated  because  their  names	did not conform to the stricter naming conventions of MPI-2; others are deprecated
       because they have been replaced with more flexible functionality.
