Job Queue Structure
During PlotWorks installation, a Queue directory was created. When a job is
submitted to the Queue, the software creates a numbered subdirectory within the
Queue directory. The job ticket, image files, and information files are copied to
this subdirectory.

The Queue directory contains a database file called QUEUE.QUE. This file
contains a record of every job submitted to the Queue directory. The Job Queue
window displays information from the QUEUE.QUE file. When jobs are added,
edited, or deleted from the Queue, this information is updated in the QUEUE.QUE
file.
