![]() | The server resides on the target machine in the same way as the printbim program does now. The developer adding new data just changes the bimserver and the clients will follow. The alternative would be to modify possibly several client programs. |
![]() | Since the client only displays simple text, it can be written on many different platforms in different languages. |
![]() | The server can send the text strings to a number of clients at the same time. |
![]() | Since only the output changes, the bimserver program can be almost identical to the original printbim. |
![]() | No logon to the target system is necessary therefore: |
![]() | No user/passwords need to be given out |
![]() | There is no possibility to compromise the system |
![]() | The client can be compiled on any Unix system, eg. HP-UX, AIX (cernsp), Linux, etc. |
![]() | No special terminal is needed |
![]() | Any number (within reason) of clients can attach to the server. |
