<<Psuedo grouping of slaves and reassignment of a group>>
<<Martin Enthed would like his computer to render projects >>
<<as part of a group and when complete get assigned to a new >>
<< group programmatically.>>
If the slave was brought up as part of a .bat file as in
3ds slave
3ds slave
3ds slave
…
if the last project assigned and rendered on this slave had a .exe
assigned to a fake frame as the last frame, which programmatically
changed the entry in 3ds.net/net-path to another MCS directory and
also had a IPAS3 routine (whose existance is unproven) which could
gracefully force 3ds to quit, you could almost get what you want.
