Hi Chris, It should be pretty simple - write a trace listener type that takes the trace output from the 2 apps and sends it to the console app via remoting. Handling instantiation of the display app could be a little tricky, but shouldn't be impossible. The display app could own a mutex, and the trace listener could start the display app if it could successfully acquire the mutex. They may be a simpler solution that I am missing - I am no Ingo when it comes to remoting (they I do own his book :)).
