- Hi all.
-
- Does anyone know if there is a version of "LISTENER" for PC-NFS 4.0a
- that will "pop" itself up in graphics mode(s)? I can see where there
- might be problems with this, but all I'm after is a something which
- can _display_ the console messages - being able to reply isn't really
- needed.
-
- For those who always seem to ask for a bit more info.....
- We're using the console messaging to alert naive users
- to problems with printing [don't ask :-)] and trying to
- do this over AutoCAD, or Animator Pro screens is kind of
- a bit hard...
-
- Sure they can go read their mail to see if there
- was a problem reported by the print filters. But that means
- they have to find a free workstation, or leave AutoCAD etc.
- With some files taking _ages_ to load and actually get displayed
- things start to get a bit annoying....
-
- I'm open to constructive suggestions.
-
- Thanks
-
- Mike
