I would agree the same. It will be huge bundle of RA clients for All Platforms.
I have an idea the IM server can download via these files (RA Client for All platforms) via Proxy / Direct internet from the Dartware server. Option 1: The IM Server can also recognize the Client OS platform and push the download from the server to client. Option 2: They can redirect to IM server download webpage for RA client download along with the multiple platform links, where the end user can download the appreciate client.

This is an interesting idea if it could happen in a space-efficient manner -- my concern is that at least in my environment the IM server is not the same platform as the RA clients (the server is FreeBSD, our workstations are all Macs). To cover all bases you would have to distribute all supported RA builds, which I think could only happen if the cross-platform core of RA is easily shared (?). In order to really make it work we would also need a knob on the server to block "out of date" clients from connecting - right now we get popups to upgrade but even I don't always do it :) -MG ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected] "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Aricent and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
