We are attempting to set up remote access to a clients PC to enable us to start up 3D Studio with a batch rendering script– Previous messages in this forum indicate its possible and we'd really like feedback from anyone who has done this and any advice you can offer on remote software and configuration.- We are leaning towards PC-Anywhere but are open to suggestions– Thanks— -Douglas Slemmer

We are a company involved in architectural software (ACAD and applications) and have had very successful long range-services with Commute from PCTools (even calling Norton Commander or similar remote). Unfortunatly, they stripped Commute from PCTools since Release 8, I think. If you got some old packages, I would try this first. Good Luck Michael

>> very successful long range-services with Commute from PCTools… Interesting to find someone using Commute. I wrote Commute several years ago! Gus

Fascinating…. I write a message about a program and get the programmer right at hand. That's really to have an ear on the line <g> Do you know why they stripped commute from PCTools? Now it's only half worth it's money, we used to sell it with our computer systems as standard package and now we don't do it any more. Really a pity ! Bye Michael

>> Do you know why they stripped commute from PCTools? Well, if you noticed, they stripped everything out of PCTools. Even Central Point has been stripped out of PCTools! <g> Now it's all in the hands of Symantec (and the Peter Norton group). They've got their own pcAnywhere.

Looks like your royalties are gone to hell… know about Symantec, tried PC-Anywhere and found it hard to comprehend/configure hope you sell commute again -M

Doug, PMJI, go with pcAnywhere, I've been using it for a month or two and it seems to work fine. Jimbo

>>tried PC-Anywhere and found it hard to comprehend/configure I agree that Symantec's manuals have been less than clear, recently. The two I'm specifically thinking of are the pcAnywhere and Norton Administrator for Networks manuals. Dave

Hi Gus, HAH! Now I've got a hold on you, something crosses my mind (once a year….<g>) totally different topic, I posted a message some days ago, that I'm searching for a 3ds browser. I stumbled recently upon your object-viewer-ipas…Really like it (commute is for job, but viewer is cute !) Hope it's free, got it through a rather dubious BBS without *any* readme. Anyway, would it be a big deal to put it to DOS, standard VGA with an isometric view for any 3ds or prj file ???? (NO rotating, buttons or other ?). I think you would do us all a big favour ?! Thanks Michael
