'Dumb Terminals' in the guise of Windows Terminals or 'Citrix' Clients
can be used to support 32bit client applications i.e. the new breed of
GP applications - its called 'Thin Client' technology and will grow in
importance in the primary care market. Most of the major GP system
suppliers are looking at this technology to support the rollout of their
new clinical applications.

		Odd.  I have Windows for Workgroups clients running on
both Windows and
		Novell networks, and my understanding is that these
would be accepted
		by an NT domain.

		I think the only reason why the TOrex client would not
be able to run
		on 16 bit Windows machines would be that it was written
in a 32 bit
		Windows language, and that it involved system calls not
serviced by the
		Win 32s components that one can add to the older
versions of Windows.

		It does rather show NT up compared to real networking
OSs like Novell;
		Unix; OS/2 though, if it is not possible to run a dumb
terminal against
		the version running on NT whereas it is against the Unix
version. 
		Perhaps it just wasn't written that way.

		Any information on the actual database management
system/engine that
		Torex have used?  It is said to be one widely used in
industry
		(portable toilet scheduling and building supply ordering
for instance I
		suppose)
