Somewhat ironic, I suppose, that I couldn't read several of
the posts in this thread because of the way I happen to be connected
right now. I'm text only at the moment, and I don't have enough
motivation to manually plough through the html stuff. My usual
current email reader will handle it (though I prefer text-only),
but the way I'm reading right now won't. The original post
amd several of the followups appeared to be html.
I could gather enough from the text posts, particularly the ones
that quoted the question. Still, I did find it ironic.
My usual remote environments are
1. MacOSX local box with X11, either local on itself or ssh to remote
MacOSX, linux, Solaris.
2. Linux local box, either local on itself or ssh remote to the
same set of options.
3. I've helped a few users set up Exceed to go from Windows to
remote Linux or Solaris boxes, but I never end up actually
using that myself.
4. Windows local. I don't do much of that, but some. Mostly just
to port codes developed in other environments.
and finally, what I'm doing right now.....
5. Windows local box, telnet to Linux remote. Really a PITA; this
isn't even a very good terminal emulator. I'd have probably been
ahead to reboot this box into Linux, but it was in Windows and
I was just going to do a quick remote check of my email.
I can't imagine doing much development this way...though I have
on rare occasion done some. Pretty rare, though.
