Thanks for you reply, that is what I do. However I have to put this juliarc.jl in the net-drive, and moreover, the precompile process of a new adding package still locates in the net-drive, which is not favorable, too. As the crucial point to me is that I only have limited space of the net-drive (....4MB.....)
