Hi Daniel and Yoshihiro:
I had a similar need recently and used Microsoft's DCOM to do distributed
(parallel) computing in the Visual Studio 6.0 environment. It should be
easier with .Net, but I have not tried it as yet. Actually, I installed an
evaluation copy of .Net on my 866 MHz Dell Dimension but the .Net
development environment was a lot slower than Visual Studio 6.0 so I
reverted to the latter.
Thanks and best regards.
