Ha. However, I have a small test-of-concept application that I'd be interested to hear feedback on. This is not even alpha-quality, but it points, it clicks and it can be talked to in a conversational style. To do anything at all, you'll need Tcl; to play pointy-clicky with the remote GUI you will need TclX/TkX. You'll also want to be able to at least read Tcl to frob the odd bogus hard-configured path and such. Having ssh installed will let you verify that the secure mode works too. Any suggestions (even just comments on my bad dialog layout) are optomistically solicited. Please don't cc' them to -hackers unless you want to raise public discussion. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
