The project I want to do involves tcp/ip. I have to be able to run a win32 console(dos) application from a client. Basically it is a tcp/ip sockets application. The application will actually run on an NT Server but the interface to the application will be displayed on the client. No console will appear on the server. So in effect what I want to do is run an application from the client on the server and echo the response back to the client over sockets. All the processing will be done on the server. If a client make a mouse move, this information will be sent to the server and an appropriate response sent back. So the application has to cater for mouse movements and keyboard input. I have searched the internet high and low and to my knowledge there is no information on this area. What I am not certain about is how to implement it over sockets and cater for mouse movements on a client console application. I was thinking of building some sort of a daemen server which would run as a service on the NT machine. Implement sockets on the client and Server and start communication. But the mouse movements and sending and receiving the screen data, I am not sure exactly how to do that. So if anybody out there has any clue how to do this I would appreciate it if you send me a mail with any reference internet site or pointer on how to go about doing this. sincerely, Aiden O' Connor mailto: oconnora AT esatclear DOT ie overview: -------- I am going to build a client and server. The client will communicate with the server over sockets. When the client connects, an application will run on the server. The output of this application would normally be send to the monitor on the NT machine in a console window. I want to redirect this output to the client screen which could be located anywhere. Similarly any more movements or keyboard input has to be sent to the server and responses sent back. It is kind of like console emulation. I cannot use anything like PC anywhere or VNC.
