Enclosed is a relatively simple hack that I developed for compiling
a NeXT application on several machines at once. It's not  
sophisticated,
but it works quite well if you have a few machines on your network  
that
all share the same home directory structure over NFS.  It just uses  
'rsh'
along with a couple of shell scripts to coordinate things.

You're welcome to it, without any warranties of any kind, of course.
