1. Special extentions for xHarbour users allow the application to be
aware about the remote mode of execution and use Terminal RPC (remote
procedure call) to easily call xHarbour code attached to gte.exe
(terminal client being executed on the client machine). This allows
(where appropriate) to split the application functionality between
server and client.
2. In a few months we will release Linux client which is not natively
available for Terminal services.
3. Ability to set up multi-user servers on Vista and XP (not on the
server systems only)
4. Product remotes application windows only (not the entire desktop)
which is not available on some Terminal services versions
5. It is cheaper. To legally use TS on Vista or Win2008 you need to
purchase both TS license and TS CAL license.

Jacek

I note that it is clear these are 32 bit applications. Every new
computer I get now is 64 bit, and I have install 32 bit WinXP (which
is still available for sale) to use my older software (not xHarbour,
OtterCAD and such). I hope you have plans to develop for 64 bit
soon? No response is required...

This 32-bit notice is mainly because 16-bit Clipper applications are not
supported. For 16-bit applications you need another product (Terminal
for CA-Clipper) which requires linking our libraries into the application.
Actually, you can use 64-bit systems to run 32-bit Terminal GUI. But you
will be able to run remotely only 32-bit applications on 64-bit system.
64-bit version of Terminal GUI will be available at the end of 2009.

Hi JaceK
Does this also work with Harbour?
Jacek
> Does this also work with Harbour?
Terminal GUI works with _any_ WIN32 application including Harbour
applications (either GUI or Console ones). However, the xHarbour
extentions are compiled using xHarbour and for now are available for
xHarbour only.

What are those xhb extensions?
I wonder if we still have anything missing which would prevent
supporting those for Harbour also. [ Unless this is some sort of
business agreement between OTC and xhb.com, of course. ]

Don't wanne be rude, but does Victor know you copy/paste his message
here in this NG? Even worse, I thought this WAS Viktor's message
because has Viktor's signature at the end of the message.
Maybe begin the copied message with a a message saying this is a
copy/paste message. And first of all, ask the original's posters
authorization to do so.

Writing "xHarbour extentions" I mean our (OTC's) code (library) written
for Terminal GUI to support easier integration of xHarbour applications
with Terminal GUI environment. This code is written in xHarbour and C.
On the client (gte.exe) side it makes use of harbour.dll for execution
of the client-attached user RPC functions. You can read more about it in
point 3 of:
http://www.otc.pl/index.asp?s=92
and detailed description of the extention functions is in chapter V of
the Terminal GUI Programmer's Manual:

There is nothing missing in Harbour which prevents us from preparing
Harbour versions of the Terminal GUI extension libraries. In fact, we do
already support new Harbour versions in Mediator and plan to support
them in Terminal GUI if there are such requests from Harbour users.
And no, there is no any kind of agreement between xHarbour.com and OTC
which could limit our activity in this area :)
