- If you happen to run an HP 9000 Series 300, 400, or 700 system or an HP
- 700/RX terminal you may want to have a look at an application called
- SharedX. It allows to share any X application to one or multiple
- workstations in the net. No code changes are necessary on the
- application side. The sender can only be one of the above. Receiver
- can be any workstation/X terminal that runs X11R4 or later X servers.
-
- In addition to sharing, SharedX allows input (mouse & keyboard) from the
- workstations shared to. The sender can determine who of he receivers is
- allowed to do input to the shared window(s). Also, a telepointer can be
- added to a shared window to point out e.g. a specific part of the
- interface being shared.
