Subject:      Was: SAS and Samba...again

This time i'm trying to be more clear:

The architecture "now":

Compute Server: on a Sun Solaris server (E6500)

Client: Win NT 4, using client SAS from a local File Server. that means:
each time a client calls SAS.EXE
this has to be retrieved from the local file server, the same appens for
each DLL pointed by a SAS module (AF, GRAPH, EIS etc...). This way each
client has a pure "SAS client installation".

I would be pleased  to know wheter:
1) can i put the SAS executable on a Samba network drive. This way i can
point a logical drive to the Samba share on th Sun Solaris machine, avoiding
this way to use the File Server (too busy for "real" file sharing)
2) has anyone tested this kind of architectural, with an heavy SAS
application (AF developed) , with a lot of client server interaction ?

Thanks in advance (first to Kasten....)
