the problem is with your pcgamess.pg file.
The first line should be "local 0" instead of "local 1"

And if you got "PARALLEL VERSION (UNIFIED) RUNNING WITH 2 NODES"
then it is really running in parallel using 2 processes (that are internally called "nodes")...

>If I use only "local 1" in pcgamess.pg, I can run a jobusing command "pcgamess.exe -i input.inp -o test.log c:\7 -p4gm 10000000". But in the beginning of output I've got "PARALLEL VERSION (UNIFIED) RUNNING WITH 2 NODES";in the end I've got timings for one processor.
