UniPress Software Inc, Edison, New Jersey, and Triton Technologies Inc, Iselin, New Jersey, have developed a version of CoSession PC2X personal computer-to-Unix communications software for Linux. CoSession PC2X enables Unix users to display data from and control remote personal computers from Unix X Window System windows, the company says. It displays an X Window from which Linux users can remotely run personal computer programs, access data, print reports and observe operations. The server component of CoSession PC2X resides on the personal computers, and provides the full personal computer session to the client, which runs on Unix workstations. The per0sonal computer sends MS-DOS and Windows video, keyboard and mouse information to the Unix workstation via Ethernet, and TCP/IP networking software provides the link. CoSession is Triton’s communication and file transfer software, PC2X is UniPress’s PC-on-X technology. Already available for Sun Microsystems Inc, Silicon Graphics Inc, IBM Corp, Santa Cruz Operation Inc and Hewlett-Packard Co Unixes, it costs from $400 for one personal computer host and one Linux client. Additional clients cost $300 and hosts cost $125. UniPress has also converted to Linux its SCM Source Code Manager, and its free single-user version, SCM Lite, a configuration management system for managing source and binary files created by multi-programmer projects. They will be out in a couple of weeks. Meantime, UniPress has apparently decided to resell Network Computing Devices Inc’s PC-Xware X Server.
