Re: modeller



Thanks for your reply-                                                
                                                                      
In using both processors for multiple jobs -- would executing the     
"mod" command in two separate terminals efficiently use the           
processors?  Or do you have to use a fancy script/command to have one 
job use processor one, and the other use processor two (or multiples  
thereof)?                                                             
                                                                      
Many thanks for your help,
