- LightWave must be run on the system that is equipt with the Toaster. If you
- have some network solution in place that allows you to kick-off processes
- on a remote system, this could be used to start LW via ARexx, but the
- the execution will take place on the remote Toaster equipt machine. Simply
- having a directory path to the executeable code via a mount (parnet or
- whatever) is going to be no different than copying the code onto another non-
- Toaster system, ie. it won't work.
-
- But rest assured that NewTek is diligently working on a solution to the
- 4000 problem. I was out there last weekend and they seemed pretty committed
- to the 4000 platform.
