Including PHOTO, OBSERVER, ADVISOR. they had the VMS 3.x versions for $99.95 (at end of 1984). The VMS 4.x versions are $495 a piece. PHOTO lets you record a terminal session. which you can play back. OBSERVER lets a privileged user/manager observe at one terminal what another user has on the user's terminal. possible uses are: monitor operator performance :-) help new users learn VMS keep track of intruders remote demo, etc. ADVISOR (needs OBSERVER) lets you take over a user's terminal... CLYDE (I don't have their address) also makes a program called CONTROL which does about the same thing. But PBS's version does NOT require you to install a driver like CLYDE. -- Portia Bjorndahl UUCP -- {allegra|ihnp4}!scgvaxd!engvax!portia Hughes Aircraft Co.
