  - New arguments of function peperr() are 'clustertype', to specify the
    type of cluster to be used ('SOCK' for socket, 'MPI', 'PVM' or
    'NWS') and 'clusterhosts', that specifies the host list for socket
    clusters, if 'clustertype=SOCK' or 'clustertype=NWS'.

    containing global variables required for computation on cluster
    nodes.

    sequential execution was not possible, but is not affecting any
