> Hi Joseph,
> You were close--
> I'm on Machine A.
> I want to run the calc program (or something else) on Machine B.
> I want the program running on Machine B, and the window on Machine B.

> A little background info:
> We have a group of about 20 windows NT4 machines which run  a software
package
> I wrote. This software is "controlled" via messages sent to it from a
> Controller Application that I also wrote, which runs on yet another
machine.
> Sometimes, the software app on the 20 machines must be quit, and
restarted,
> which is pretty tedious to go to each machine, and manually quit the
app, and
> restart it (soon it'll be on 100 machines, and even worse. I'd like my
> Controller App (machine A) to be able to start the software app on all
those
> other machines (B) for this reason.

> I appreciate the help, BTW.
