We have an old mainframe here that people run SPSS on. That machine
isn't going to be around much longer so we will have to find something
else for our SPSS users. We have a large Novell network as our primary
academic network, as well as some Unix boxes. We'd like to put SPSS on
our Novell network but apparently the PC version isn't powerful enough.
Our thought is that it would be nice if we could set up SPSS on one of
our Unix hosts and have it act as an SPSS "server". People would create
their SPSS jobs on their favourite machine, probably a PC on our Novell
network, and then "submit it" to the SPSS server for processing, which
would then return the output of job to the user's station, much like
a client/server database request using something like Oracle. Does any
one know if such a thing exists?
