SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run a Win32 program remotely, the program may stop responding.



CAUSE
The inetd/telnet/xterm program cannot run interactive graphical Windows applications. Only command line applications, such as Net.exe, can be run remotely.



MORE INFORMATION
The Win32 console Application Programming Interface (API) is based on a set of display APIs that do not support remote display of Win32 applications. Applications that attempt to perform Win32 console API calls will stop. The INTERIX Rutils and Xterm implementations use UNIX-style pseudo-ttys to communicate to the shell and subsystem. Pseudo-ttys do not behave exactly like Win32 console windows, as they support only simple read and write operations.
