   I'm not sure that I follow this.  Does ``in between'' mean at the
remote user's site, or at the compute server's site?  (Surely it doesn't
mean halfway in between, say in Kansas somewhere.)  And do you mean that
the ``master'' copy resides on the compute server, or on the file
server?
   If the master copy resides on the file server then you find (for
example) that you need to transfer all of the ingredient files to the
compute server every time you wish to recompile a large package.  So
that seems unworkable.  On the other hand, if the master copy resides on
the compute server, then you have all of the problems of copying the
file from the compute server to the file server every time you wish to
edit it; it seems you might as well just copy it to your home machine.
   What exactly did you have in mind?
