st: Running Stata in Batch Mode

["Tim R. Sass" <tsass@coss.fsu.edu>]

I have been using the Windows version of Stata on my PC.  In order to 
analyze a very large data set I need to transition to Sun Microsystems 
machine running Unix operating on a network.  The Unix machine is 
physically located in different location, so I want to be able to run my do 
files remotely from my PC.  My past experience with Unix is limited to 
running SAS jobs in batch mode -- submitting a SAS file to be processed on 
a Unix machine from my PC using a terminal emulation program.

Can Stata for Unix operate in a similar fashion?  If I have a network Stata 
license for Unix can I submit jobs in batch mode from my PC (with a Window 
OS) or do I have to have a PC with Unix installed?  Can I submit "batch" 
jobs as I would with SAS?
