Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent man-hours for preparing a command file from overlapping by simply using a command file prepared by nother clients. SOLUTION: When a command file for preparing part 12 prepares a work command file 18, a remote file wiring controlling part 16 outputs this file, and allows a server 2 to preserve it. A remote file information display controlling part 15 outputs a file information request, receives the file information of a preserved command file 23 from the server 2, and allows it to be displayed. A remote file reading controlling part 17 outputs a command file request, receives the command file 23 corresponding to this request from the server 2, and duplicates it to the work command file 18. A command file transmitting part 13 outputs plural commands in a work command file 18 to the server 2, and the server 2 upon receiving this command, controls a switchboard 4.
