Hi All. Here is my two cents worth. First, I use VNC on a WP51-D, and ICC, and *ALL* configurators work perfectly. Second, VNC has nothing to do with fonts, remote draw, or save_unders. Think of VNC as a "screen scraper". It sends an image of what is on the server's screen to the VNC client. Third, it is much faster than eXceed on dial-up accounts. The real beauty of VNC is that it is open source, and servers (and clients) have been developed for SOLARIS, win32, and MAC (and client for PALM OS). Therefore you can access a win(95/98/NT4/NT5/etc) desktop on a Mac. or a SUN box or LINUX box or even a Palm Pilot with no configuration on the client end. You can also access a SUN box on a MAC or win32 etc. BTW, it is a free download from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download.html. -Brian Bates.

What it comes down to is that in order to work with Foxboro apps via anything X-like (be it VNC with its own Client Server approach or the more UNIX like solutions like eXceed and Reflexion etc (which are X-servers on the Windows platform): -The package of choice should have a way to incorporate the Foxboro fonts as a fonts directory -You should be able to work with 256 color mapping -or: to have true color support you must have the "Server Visual" set to "pseudo color" for the X-server. EXceed did not get this working (for Foxboro anyway) until version 6.0.1. As far as I know Reflexion works -To support the "remote draw" functions the server must support the functions "backing store" and "save unders" and these must be switched on the max! Sorry Stan to do this just when you were feeling much more comfortable I sure hope it helps a little :-( Regards Ron Deen Senior System Service Specialist Invensys Systems N.V. Baarnsche dijk 10 P.O.

Thansk for educating me on this.
