Summary: Controlling/Modifying user environment with Modules

I had received 0 responses.

However, I found a good web site that have the latest
on Modulefiles.

If you are not aware of MODULES, I think you should
consider looking into it. It is a very useful utility
for managing user environments.

The web site address is:
