Richard,
Thank you for the clarifications. I have requested this information from
NetTraverse in the past but never received any reply. I hate to spread
incorrect technical info.
The real issue, I think, is that PCAnywhere does seem to squarely fit
into NetTraverse's expressed mission statement to support business critical
type Windows applications under Linux. This is currently the one business
app I need to eliminate windows from my desktop at home. I am now running
Office 2000, Outlook 2000, Internet Explorer when I have to, Quicken,
FrameMaker, Corel and a number of other apps with no issues at all. It's
only PCAnywhere that I need and can't get.
When will NetTraverse support this app, or the technology required to
allow this app to run? I can't seem to get a statement that NetTraverse is
even looking into it! There are a lot of us using it, and the previous
suggestion from another Win4Lin user to switch to VNC is only applicable
when administration of both machines is under my control. I have to access a
number of machines that do not and will not ever run VNC, so that doesn't
work for me.
(STEPPING ON SOAPBOX - Additionally, VNC does not support the simple file
transfer screens and scripts that we can use under PCAnywhere, so it won't
work for me. I do agree that it is a nice program and faster than
PCAnywhere, but the point here is the ability to run what WE want to run and
not be limited to certain solutions!! I do not agree that it isn't stable.
I've run it for years on many machines and it's always worked well for me. -
OFF SOAPBOX - Flames to /dev/null)
With best regards,
Mark Knecht

The installation of DLLs is permitted and usually works. VxDs are
another issue altogether. Sometimes they will work, othertimes not,
depending on what they do.
If, however, an application insists on having Microsoft Networking
installed, then it may have trouble. But this is different from
not supporting DLLs.
