I was thinking, technically he could make use of his unix machines in his winblows environment to a limited degree.

If he installed cygwin, and built some cross compilers on his unix machines, he should be able to compile distcc for ditributed compiling on his winblows machine. I've never tried it, but I'm sure it would be possible.

There are other things you could do to speed up a windows environment. Take blender for example, I belive it has some network rendering stuff it in and it is cross platform.

As for transparent clustering windows + unix, it ain't gonna happen.

And on another note about mosix, keep in mind it is designed for transparent computational clusters, ie. number crunching machines. It'll speed up things like a multi-threaded, CPU bound processes, but stuff that is IO bound will not migrate to the other nodes. Don't think it'll speed up your [insert favorite 3D video game here] because it won't.

As with everything in unix, the tools are there. It's how you use them that makes it worthwhile. If you do not want to learn how to use the tools, or want the computer to do something (half-assed) for you, stick with winblows.

NAME

       snap2tzx - Convert ZX Spectrum snapshot to .tzx tape images

SYNOPSIS

       snap2tzx [-1 string] [-2 string] [-b colour] [-g string] [-l string] [-o filename] [-r] [-s speed] [-v] [-$ filename] snapshot
DESCRIPTION

       snap2tzx converts a ZX Spectrum snapshot into a .tzx tape image.

OPTIONS

       -1 string
	      causes string (which has a maximum of 32 characters) to be shown while loading.

       -2 string
	      causes string (maximum 32 characters) to also be shown while loading.

       -b colour
	      specifies the border colour while loading.

       -g string
	      causes string (maximum 32 characters) to be used as the game name while loading.

       -l string
	      causes string (maximum 8 characters) to be used as the BASIC filename in the loader.

       -o filename
	      causes the output to be sent to filename.

       -r     causes the final line of attribute data in the loading screen to be bright.

       -s speed
	      specifies the speed of the loader; available values for speed are 0 (1500 bps), 1 (2250 bps), 2 (3000 bps) and 3 (6000 bps).

       -v     specifies verbose output.

       -$ filename
	      specifies that the ZX Spectrum screen stored in filename should be used as the loading screen.

       snapshot
	      specifies the snapshot (in a format supported by libspectrum(3)) to be converted.

       In any string parameter, the tilde (~) will be converted into a copyright symbol.
