Hi Dan,

We've actually ditched Dr Queue here, but I've developed our own
renderfarm from scratch called Splish.

It's been much more robust for us than Dr Queue was, and the good news
is I made it cross platform - though we're only linux here. I'll be
doing a compile of the windows version in the near future as I try to
improve our After Effects support.

While there isn't a simple install for it yet I'm happy to help you
through getting it up and running.

Feel free to grab me on msn/jabber
(skyphyr_(at)hotmail.com/skyphyr(at)gmail.com) if you want to chat about it.

Cheers,

Alan.

Hi Alan,

Through a bizarre set of links stemming from this thread, I found a post in
the DrQueue forums mentioning that you had coded some XSI support in a
version currently only available for Linux.

I was wondering about the development status for the windows version?  I'd
quite like to take a look at DrQueue as a possible free, simple batch
manager.

All the best,

DAN
