<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We use a combination of Exceed, Go Global, Windows 3.1 (yeah I know
its old), Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Depending on the operating system and video card, we can use
either 256 colors or True Color settings. They all act a little
differently. The most bizarre problem is using Exceed on a Windows 98
machine. If you open a Foxview display from one AW and then an old Display
Manager from another AW, the old DM screen is completely black. If you open the
old DM first & then the Foxview, everything works fine. Go Global does not
have this problem (but it does have a few others), and the same machine using Windows
NT (dual-boot) works fine with either Exceed or Go Global.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> On the machine I am using right now, a Windows 98, Exceed
behaves differently in 256 and True Color modes. In the old DM the normal
outline box that appears when the mouse cursor is over a "pickable" field
only shows up in 256 color mode. In True color you have to know which fields are
pickable, and the yellow outline box appears only after you have selected the
field.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> In a Foxview session the outline box shows up all the time
. . .</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Any of the Foxboro utility type programs like the ICC or the
Historian have problems when run from the PCs, so I don't use them unless I really
have too. If you can remember where the disappearing fields in the ICC are it
isn't TOO bad, but it still makes me nervous when I'm at home & I have to use
it. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I guess there is no perfect PC access method!</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I know this is no help to you, but
I run Go-Global here </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and our '95 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> machines do fine. However, I have
'98 SE on my home PC and have </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> similar problems. In ICC sometimes
I have to repick all </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the fields </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> (which are blank) to get data to
appear and then it will </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> allow me to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> enter values, the same happens in
Select. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We are looking at having remote PC
displays, investigating </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> possibilities.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Personal feelings anyone on this?

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Got a weird one....</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Currently we use SCO XVision to show remote display managers
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> on our PCs </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> for engineering work. (XVision is equivalent to Hummingbird
eXceed. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Corporate IT dictates that we use XVision instead of eXceed.)
The </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> particulars are: XVision version 7.0 32-bit server running on
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Win95, IBM </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Pentium 133 MHZ PC with 16 or 32 MB RAM.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> In preparation for new desktop PCs being deployed this summer,
I'm </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> testing the same XVision software running on the new machines,
which </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> also are IBM machines, but at 600 MHZ and 128 MB RAM running Win
98 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Second Edition. We will still be using DM. No Foxview.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Here's the weird one: I cannot pick any of the data entry </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> areas on the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Select screen. With two DMs coming from the same Sun box, the
one on </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the Win95 machine works fine, the one on the new Win98 machine
works </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> almost as flawlessly, except for this glitch. What's going
on?</FONT>
