Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there has knowledge/experience using
Apollo's Network Computing System.  It is a way of distributing the
work load for programs, etc. across various machines (i.e. utilizing
the cpu's  to the max to get a job done).  Some questions in my mind are 
1) how well does it perform in actuality, 2) how hard is it to get  up 
and running on (say for example) a network of suns?  I am looking for 
answers to these and many other questions.  

Any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail 
me at jozwiak@cpsvax.cps.msu.edu.

Thanks.
