We are in a situation where we have a 486/33 acting as a Oracle 6.0 server. There are several PS/2's connected to the 486 via Novell NetWare. These PS/2's are primarily used for writing Pro*C code for SQL applications. What we would like to do is to use the 486 to compile our MS-DOS applications for us in one of the network directories. We would also like to tell the 486 to compile without being at it's console. Does anyone out there have suggestions about making this work? What we thought of doing was writing an OS/2 program that will look at a queue of tasks stored in a disk file, then executing each of these tasks under the DOS window. The users on the rest of the net could just append tasks to the end of the end of the queue file... Sorry if this is novice stuff, but, I am an OS/2 novice! :-) Thanks, Paul Henning
