    Following on the recent discussion about batch jobs, which should be
mopping up spare cpu cycles, slowing interactive graphics, I have
a similar problem running the Quanta package on a 3130.

    - Will npri run on a 3130?

    - Will it allow me to run batch jobs at such a low priority that
interactive programs run as though nothing else is on the m/c?

    - And if so, how can I get it?
