Erm... How do you know?

The point about SVRANY is that it runs programs as services. As such,
it doesn't help for anything that needs to present a GUI.

So, it's not useful for things like Word which are fundamentally
applications that you interact with on the PC in question...

... but absolutely fine for server-side things, like, say, JReceiver
which will happily run in a console.

I had been thinking that the bit of HV you wanted to run was the web
server - I'd forgotten that the supplied HomeVision software also
needs to present a GUI, since I don't use it except when programming
HV. I'm not sure what will happen to the GUI bit - whether it will
supress the GUI, or simply bomb out on not being able to instantiate
any of the screen objects...

Sorry if I've lead you up the wrong path.

Regards,

Mark
