Timo,
I have just obtained a copy of DESQview, and I have modified TR so
that it is now "DESQview-Aware" and can run in a small DV window.
It seems a program like TRHOST cannot be made to work with DV, so I
have not attempted to make it "DESQview-Aware".
I have also added some support for packet networks, so that TR and
TRHOST can be installed to tolerate significant time delays between
receiving one character and the next.
Last but not least, I have decided to reduce the registration fee to
$25.00!
All the best, Doug.

TeleReplica: Remote control/surveillance of one PC from another
Shareware: US$25.00
Purpose:
- TeleReplica allows two IBM PC-compatible computers to be connected
together (via telephone lines and modems, or via a direct cable, or
via a common mini- or main-frame computer), and arranges for input
to be accepted from either keyboard, and for both displays to
appear identical
Common Applications:
- access to a local area network from a remote site (for example,
we do much of our Novell system administration (backups etc) from
home outside normal working hours)
- software support (to avoid the need for site visits)
Features:
- small memory overhead on PC running applications (total around 9K)
- common screen patterns (such as a repeating block of the same
character or attribute) and common changes (such as scrolling) are
encoded to improve update speed
- obsolete screen changes are not transmitted (thus typing several
commands without waiting for the display to catch up is possible)
- password protection, with password transmitted automatically
- partial automatic baud rate selection
- support for both color and monochrome displays
- support for hardware (CTS/RTS) and software (XON/XOFF) flow control
- support for packet network links
- support for COM1-4 and custom ports
- ability to perform file transfers in the background while the
replica PC is used for other tasks
- support for unattended hosts, including call-back and auto-reboot
- TR is "DESQview-Aware" and will run in a small DV window
- detailed documentation (almost 100K) with examples of TR/TRHOST
installation for some common applications
Limitations:
- cannot replicate graphics displays
- only works with text page 0 and in 80x25 mode
- uses the standard keyboard buffer (in segment 0040)
- causes bad "snowing" on older CGA displays
- slows normal PC operation
- requires DOS 3.0 or later
- does not cope with very noisy lines
Software Compatibility:
- almost all text applications, including:
- WordStar, WordPerfect
- Lotus-style spreadsheets
- dBase, Foxbase, Dataflex
- Turbo Pascal and C
- WordPerfect Office
- Novell utilities
Software Incompatibility:
- all graphics programs (e.g. WordPerfect preview)
- communications programs installed to use the same interrupt!
- programs using text pages other than 0 (e.g. Turbo Debugger?)
