Gilmore Remote ANSI is a Clipper communications function library
that lets you add background remote control support to your programs.
Completely replaces TSRs like Closeup, pcAnywhere, CC, etc. with this
royalty-free library. Allows complete remote access to an application
and DOS using normal ANSI or VT100 terminals. Remote ANSI is easy to use
with only two function calls needed for total remote communications. BBS
operators can now use Clipper to write doors. Save money by linking remote
support into all your applications for one price. Support large applications
with less memory overhead than a TSR. Requires less than 9K of RAM. This
allows you to support your applications even on large networks. 50+ API
functions to the remote control engine gives maximum control. Fast Zmodem
functions let you automate host <-> remote file transfers. Saves
time and frustration by providing no setup or work for your clients. Clipper
5.x and Summer '87 source code is included for your own host/BBS, chat
and other events. Functions are included so the host side can call the
remote terminal. This will save you money by making the client pay the
phone call. Supports all overlay linkers, high speed modems, 115200 baud,
16550A chip, nonstandard com ports, and many more features! Free on-line
demo by calling (603) 352-7919 with any terminal program.
Remote API was our first remote product and is a big hit with
our users since it gives ultimate control to them. However, requests started
coming in for universal Clipper access and control, and Remote ANSI is
the solution. Remote ANSI doesn't require a special terminal and works
with any ANSI terminal program. Because Remote ANSI works with ANSI terminals,
some features could not be implemented. Below is a chart that summarizes
the difference between Remote API and Remote ANSI. Most likely, if you
are concerned with security and want control of who will be accessing
the host application, you will need Remote API with its robust security
and unique serial number IDs. If you want to allow public access or write
doors for a BBS, then you will need Remote ANSI. You may also want both
and use them together, as more and more of our users are doing now for
complete remote communications.
