We have an old mainframe here that people run SPSS on. That machine isn't going to be around much longer so we will have to find something else for our SPSS users. We have a large Novell network as our primary academic network, as well as some Unix boxes. We'd like to put SPSS on our Novell network but apparently the PC version isn't powerful enough. Our thought is that it would be nice if we could set up SPSS on one of our Unix hosts and have it act as an SPSS "server". People would create their SPSS jobs on their favourite machine, probably a PC on our Novell network, and then "submit it" to the SPSS server for processing, which would then return the output of job to the user's station, much like a client/server database request using something like Oracle. Does any one know if such a thing exists? -- Peter Steele Postmaster peter@auad.acadiau.ca Tel: 902-542-2201 Software Analyst, Acadia University, Wolfville, NS Fax: 902-542-7224
