- Is there a way that two people can be at different terminals and
- working on the same program? For example, say one person is
- in Chicago and has a problem with a makefile. He calls the sys admin
- (me in stlouis) and asks that I take a look at it. What would be ideal is
- for the person in Chicago to bring up the Makefile at the same time that
- I bring it up (probably using 'vi'). The catch to this is that
- we are not working on copies of the same makfile, but instead when
- I hit the control keys ( like move up,down left, right, or make a change)
- the person in Chicago sees the changes take place at the same time
- I make them (he also sees the cursor move around...). The reverse
- would also apply, i.e, when he makes changes I see the same.
-
- I guess this question applies to two situtations:
-
- 1) When both parties are logged into workstation (running X windows).
-
- 2) When one party (or both) only have simple terminal caps like
- when logging in via modem.
