From the Release Notes to Concentrix 5.6:
"Version 5.6 of Concentrix offers the following enhancements:
- Support for NFS remote execution
[..] "
Does anybody know what "NFS remote execution" means?
Thanks,
Patrik
(Oh, btw: /lib/libc.a in the international distribution is
dated from Feb 14 1990 and is identical to the libc that came
with 5.5.02. What does Alliant distribute in the States?)

Until now, you have had to copy executables to a local disk before you could run them. Has Alliant fixed the remote shell script problem in 5.6? If you have three shell scripts located on a remote NFS filesystem whose first lines are "#!/bin/sh", "#!/bin/csh" and "#!/usr/local/bin/perl", will each be directed to the correct interpretor, or will they still all be fed to the Bourne Shell?
