This technique can be used to run "any" X-windows program so that it is part of the local X-Win display, but the process actually runs on the remote system. I assume the GUI program that the original requestor wants to run is a little more graphical then xterm, but xterm is an X-Windows program and is sufficently "GUI-ish" to demonstrate the concept. (I think... :-) ) If you want you can start up "Xetris" instead. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] copyright 2003. Use is restricted.
