I'm looking for help in solving this problem. My general trade bookstore (Northern California) is located about 75 feet from my children's bookstore. The trade store uses a CD ROM system to run "Books In Print" (BIP) all the hours we are open, and the system is highly useful. The children's store needs access to the same info. I am licenced and have permission from R. R. Bowker Co. (BIP's owner) to tie the stores together with a program such as Carbon Copy or Takeover. (Doing a real network requires more licence fees and more software and would not be cost-effective.) We are willing, instead, to let the host computer be "taken over" by the remote computer from time to time. I need help with these questions: (1) What is the best remote control program to use for this purpose? (2) Anyone have actual experience accomplishing this task? (3) Anyone have suggestions where I might look for more information? Many thanks to all. ……….. Tony (^_^)
