I first want to thank everybody who helped me out with the previous thread, "A few questions about RevG". This subject is a lot more focused, and comes as a result of the previous discussion.
Has anybody ever run a Revelation G application in a Windows NT or 2000 environment under Terminal Services? I've been reading up on this at the MS website, and it appears that RevG should be a fairly well-behaved MS-DOS app. under their definition, as long as we keep the CPU cycles down. What I've learned so far would seem to indicate the following:
1. Use of CPU Plus (sprezzatura)
2. Use of byte range locking
3. Use of MS client software. Here things are a bit murky. MS states that Terminal Services can handle Win CE terminals, 32 bit computers, etc. However, the FAQ state, in response to the following question:
(see http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/techinfo/administration/terminal/tsacfaq.asp)
Q. What versions of Internet Explorer does the TSAC run on? Will it run on a Windows CE, a Macintosh, or a UNIX version of Internet Explorer?
A. The TSAC only runs on the Windows® 9x, Windows Millenium Edition (Windows Me), Windows NT® (Intel only), and Windows 2000 operating systems using Internet Explorer 4 or later version. It is not supported on any other platform.
The TSAC is the Terminal Server Advanced Client, which can supposedly run ActiveX controls and so forth. Can somebody who has tried (hopefully successfully!) to run RevG in this fashion help me decipher this?
Thanks in advance,

Alvaro,
REVG probably hasn't been extensively used in this setting because in the absence of tools such as CPUPLUS for REVG, there was no means to run more than a couple of concurrent sessions successfully on one PC.
