Hello again netters, first I must extend my thanks to William
Shipley (sp?) for his swift and helpful answer to my "hit test"
question a week or so back.  (The answer was to use the magical
Display PS function infill... nice stuff, but boy I bet it sure
sucks those MIPS...)

This time I wondering if it's possible to open windows on remote
machines.  No, I don't mean the -NXHost stuff.  What I'm thinking
about is having a program run on my machine, let me interact with
it locally (via windows, duh) and also open windows on other
machines.  Sort of like -NXHosting individual windows of an
application.

I suppose I could use the client/server model, but that would
involve at least two separate applications.  I want one app
to display and receive events from many machines.

There's some intersting stuff happening with Mach 3.0 these days.
(not to mention BSD4.4...)  I wonder how closely NeXT will pursue
new OS technology... maybe now that they have a stable Unix
platform there's no need to go off on a risky tangent.
---

Now the important stuff.  How about full screen BoinkOut?  Forget
this teeny window stuff...
