The above message contained the following:

First off, I strongly recommend upgrading to LDM 6.0 because it has
much better performance than LDM 5.  You would have to recreate your
product-queue, however.

We'd be happy to help if you're short of the resources necessary to 
do this.  We'd need to be able to log onto the relevant system as the
LDM user.

You can do this either in parallel or sequentially.  The parallel
solution would have both a FILE entry and a PIPE entry.  You could not
depend on the order of execution.  The sequential solution would PIPE
the data-product to a program (which could be a script) that would
perform the steps in sequence.
