Display Mode Support - Funk Software Proxy User Manual

For example, to connect to station "Dell P200" in a Proxy window entitled
"Analysis," use the following command line:
Proxy will consider the first space that follows the /W switch to be a separator,
and will expect a workstation name, IPX address, or task name to follow. If
you'd like to include spaces in your custom window title, you must enclose the
text in quotes.
Thus, to entitle the window in the example above "Stock Market Analysis," use
the following command line:

Display Mode Support

Proxy is able to reproduce the display of the host PC while it is in a wide variety
of display modes, both in DOS and Windows.
Proxy's ability to render colors accurately depends on the capabilities of the
Windows display driver. The most accurate color reproduction will occur when
the Proxy Master's color capability matches or exceeds that of the host PC. For
example, a Proxy Master running in a Windows session with a 16-color display
driver will be able to render a host PC running Windows with a 16-color display
driver perfectly; however, if the host PC's display driver is 256-color, the Proxy
Master will have to approximate some colors as best it can.
For accuracy in color rendering, it is better to use a 256-color than a 16-color
Windows display driver on the Master machine. The 16-color display driver,
however, will give significantly better performance, while still providing a range
of colors that is adequate for most purposes.
The display resolution of the Master machine is less critical, since Proxy can
display host PC screens of any size by resorting to scroll bars. However, you'll
find it convenient to use a high-resolution display driver for the Master machine,
such as 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768, so that you'll be able to render most host PC
displays in their entirety without scroll bars.
