Re: Peek&Spy anyone ?

You are correct, of course. It was three years ago and things are starting
to get fuzzy already...

I had not heard of a "WINDOW" feature in the Raxco product before now. If
it was in the version we were using, I certainly would have tried it. I
don't believe it was. It very well could have been an upgrade that we did
not purchase and I was unaware of.

However, one thing it did have a problem with was FMS screens, which was
what our main application used. When monitoring, you could see everything
that the user saw except what was on the screen before you started your
monitoring session (which is logical). A control-w would not force the
FMS

I thought CTRL-R was refresh under FMS.



graphics to refresh. If the user moved off the screen to a different
screen, you would see everything. It was an aggravation but not a
show-stopper.

So, you'd like to hear a symphony even though you weren't present
when it was performed and nobody was there to recording it? Hmm.
So, your enhancement request is that CONTRL would prognosticate?

With the WINDOW portion of the RaxcoSupport product, this too can
be realized. There are myriad other benefits and features using
the WINDOW utility.



The Peek&Spy product handled the monitoring task much differently could
display what was on the user's FMS screen before you started your monitor
session (claimed the vendor). This additional functionality significantly
increased the resources required to run the application (from my
discussions
with the vendor). Unfortunately, I changed jobs before I actually had a
chance to install and test the Peek&Spy product, but it sounded like would
solve the one issue we had with Raxco's product.

No difference. They're buffering all terminal I/O in anticipation
of someone wanting to see some terminal screen's contents prior to
someone actually showing interest in seeing it. This feature comes
at a steeper price both monetarily and as a performance hit.
