Re: Assigning specific devices to a subsystem

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill--

All of our interactive subsystems run through a startup program.  One
of the things the startup program does is check for devices that need
to be in other subsystems--  and issue a TFRJOB to the jobq of the
other subsystem.

We had a Real Good Reason for not using a work station entry for the
handhelds--  but I don't remember what it was.  (:
