Workstation or Server Workspace?

[Don Rich]

Here's the scenario.
A user is sitting at a WinXP workstation and maps a drive to one particular
remote server. The user then transfers data files to that server and invokes
my C++ application executable that resides on that remote server from a
simple DOS command line at the workstation. For example, x:\myprogram.ex e.
This scenario can and often does exist concurrently at different workstations
around the country but always with the one particular remote server.

Here's my question.
When my application is thus invoked, is a copy of it actually copied to the
respective user's workstation's local workspace and run there referencing the
data files on that remote server; or, are multiple instances of the
application somehow running in that remote server's local workspace to
process the respective data files on that remote server?

TIA.
