Hi there all you SUN geniuses,

HELP!!!  I need to do something a bit Bizarre,  but none the less the
Upper Mgmt. wants it.  I need to ``duplicate'' the windows of our CAD
package on the console of another workstation. It looks as if the easiest
approach is to run the software on both workstations, and transmit events
across a network ( TCP/IP ) to the other workstation, where they get read
by an ``event reader'' and posted to the window of the running program. I
have most of it in place,  but how do I make the ``event reader process''
post events to the window of the ``CAD process'' ???

A bit of helpful info:   We are using Sun 3's w/ Sunview 1.2.    Any help
would be appreciated. ( Even if you think it's a looooney idea )
