Hi All,

  Just wanted to share a neat little script I put together last week.
The attached shell script "ozec2" can be used as a fork command for
starting new Remote module managers.  Instead of attaching to an
existing remote machine, it spins up a new virtual machine instance on
Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) and uses
that.

  So those of us who don't have a compute cluster sitting around can now
enjoy all the benefits of ParallelSearch just by doing:

    S = {New Search.parallel init(unit:6#ozec2)}

  Of course, you need to have an Amazon AWS account and the EC2
command-line tools installed.  There's more details (and some simple
timing tests) on my blog if you're interested:

  Cheers,
