Clustor is a program for managing large computational tasks. Clustor greatly simplifies a common computationally intensive activity - running the same program code numerous times with different inputs. Clustor provides increased performance by distributing jobs over a network of computers and improved task management through a friendly user interface.
Targeted at users who run computationally demanding tasks, Clustor supports all phases of running such a task: task preparation, job generation and job execution. With Clustor, users who do not have extensive knowledge of programming parallel applications, such as scientists, engineers, researchers, are able to utilize the power of networked computers.

Printers from Hewlett-Packard (both laser and ink variants) have an extensive set of configurable options. These options are normally set on the front panel of the printer.
The most notable options are:
With LjetManager you can directly modify these settings on your screen. It is especially usefull for printers that lack front panel configurability (like the LaserJet 5L) or if you have more than one printer at your disposal.
LjetManager sports a graphical user interface, is fully localizable and comes with documentation and help pages in HTML format.
3.5" diskettes, Internet (EMail and WWW).
You can download a demo version (in fact it's the previous version of LjetMgr) from the following locations and their mirror sites. Just look for LjetMgr2.4.1.README and the acompanying files.
