         You do not need to do an install.  Just have her machine
mount the disks on your solaris machine and add her to the HOSTS.LIST.
She will need recognizable data areas (with her host name in them) in
DADEVS.LIST etc and a DA00 area in the same $NET0 area.

Log in to the aoc and cd /AIPS - look at our structure and you will
see how we support multiple architectures etc with one copy of the
source code.  The mnj for a second architecture feeds off the main one
too - avoiding all sorts of copies etc
