You have to worry about race conditions on file writes (e.g. running the *same* script twice could be asking for trouble if both processes want to write foo.Rout). Also watch out for seed issues when simulating, if both processes restore the same seed from a saved workspace, they'll be generating exactly the same sequence of random numbers, which may or may not be what you want. Apart from that you should be OK. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
