Re: [xAP Advert] PC based occupancy detection



Hi,

The latest version of my xAP Watcher program will support this, I can
let you have a copy of the beta when it's done.  It checks mouse
movement and keypresses and toggles an "Active=3DYes/No" line in
the xAP
message.  It also gives you username/cpu usage/memory/HDD
space/Processes and will display xAP display messages like incoming
caller id. It's freeware and works on windows NT/2000/XP, probably 9X as
well but untested.

James
