[help-gnubatch] GNUBatch 1.7

[John Collins (Xi Software Ltd)]

Just uploaded a GNUBatch 1.7

I've fixed a bug I introduced last time affecting connections between machines running it (ooops sorry!)

I've tried to make the code a bit more resilient about what "my" host IP is. I've done this in a way which hopefully makes conversion to IPv6 a bit easier in the future.

I've also included the "PyQt" interface in the directory "batchwin" although I haven't done the documentation yet but it does seem to work. The idea is to provide a Windows and other client interface allowing you to run/edit jobs and submit new jobs.

The clients are intended to be used with Windows but also run on UNIX or GNU/Linux (actually I've only tested it on the latter).

I'm going to update the documentation over the next month or so to include that and also convert all the existing documentation to Latex to avoid having to invoke OpenOffice.
