What would you like to know?

We have three rs6000's that are used as number crunchers.
We have a raft of nexts that are hooked to the same  
ethernet.  

Typically people use Edit to write their code, Stuart to  
connect to the IBM, xlf on the IBM to compile their code, 
run the code, and use nxyplot, mathematica, SciPlot, and  
hippoplotimus to look at results, and FrameMaker and TeX to  
write their papers.

The Nexts and the IBM's share a common user filespace via  
NFS.

There are basically two programs that people run on the  
console of the IBM's.  XV and flight.
