Which, if any, of the Remote Control programs (Co-session, Carbon Copy, PcAnywhere, etc.) will work with windows running on the host system. Mouse support is not essential and I realize performance will be poor due to the screen being in graphics mode but the functionality is most important. Jeff Sicherman

I don't know if any of these programs will work in a Windows environment, although I tend to doubt it. However DynaComm (the non-stripped down program of which Terminal is a stripped-down version!) does have the same capabilities for remote control. As a result of a project for a client, we picked up a copy and I've been playing with it. For most things, it works quite well and is quite robust. I wish it supported the streaming Ymodem-G protocol, but otherwise I've had no complaints. The line drawing graphics even work properly in VT220 mode, unlike WINQVT. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :

However DynaComm (the non-stripped down In INFOWORLD January 28, 1991, Page 31, "Window GUI Slows Remote Control Developer's Efforts", says that for Carbon Copy and PC Anywhere (and the others) that a Window-based product is yet to come out. The difficulties are in getting Windows to relenquish control and the speed involved in transmitting graphics over a modem with a slow baud rate. From the article, it looks like some time before these packages are fully functional with Windows. Stephen Windsor srw@op632@cci.com
