The Pathworks 32 CD had an "unsupported" directory of utilities.  Among these was the DOS command line NFT utility.  One feature was the ability to use NFT/SUBMIT to start a batch job on a remote system.  You did have to have a valid Pathworks Client Access license.  Later versions of Microsoft Windows and multi core workstations created issues for the Pathworks 32 client.
