Abstract
A computer network system of the present invention contains program modules residing in different computers and executing commands without return results to calling program modules. The system contains a communication network connecting a plurality of computers. It also contains a plurality of program modules each associated with a parameter file. These program modules can send commands to other program modules. The program modules executes these commands without returning results to the calling program modules. The parameter files and program modules may locate in different computers of the network system. The system contains means for downloading a parameter file to a computer containing its associated program module and means for invoking the program module in response to downloading of the parameter file.
