Windows Login Machines
The login machines give you full Windows desktop functionality
on your local machine. You can compile programs, access files on the file server
(H:), and submit and monitor batch jobs. You should not run jobs on the login machines,
because the machines are not designed for heavy cpu loads and response times for
anyone using the machine will become extremely sluggish. You can work either in
the native Windows environment, using the GUI and/or the command prompt, or in a
UNIX-like environment.
