PURPOSE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWD Industries proudly presents Remote-Anything, the latest version of its
Remote-Control Administration Tool which allows to use a distant PC as if
you were there.
- What's new about Remote-Control?
After all, well established ten-year-old companies like Symantec and other
major players of the software business are offering similar products...
Similar? Not really.
RA is now 1000 TIMES smaller than PC Anywhere, much more powerful and far
less expensive so now you can afford to install RA on every PC of your LAN.
RA is installed (and configured) after you copy and run the 83KB Slave.exe
file on the PC you intend to control, you can make a personalized Slave.exe
file with the default options of your choice to allow for zero-configuration
during deployments.
When you have only to copy and run a single file of 83 KB deployment on
thousands of PCs is a breeze... and deployment 'on-demand' becomes possible.
Those facts are not marketing hype: RA can be downloaded in seconds where
other products require much more time (GotoMyPC's "small footprint" is 3.5MB)
and detailed and confusing installation and configuration instructions.
Endless downloads also have a cost.
But the real point is: RA and TWD give you direct access and influence when
it comes to updates to the product or adding features that you suggest.
We regularly include new features that our users request.. almost as fast
as they ask for them. Our policy FREE UPDATES the 1st year, no questions asked.
This last argument could seem benign if RA were not evolving like a wild
Darwinian creature. In less than two years RA has reached a point where it can
favorably be compared to ten-year-old competitors. AND every few months you
will get the UPGRADES to the hottest product on the market - at no extra cost.
Example:
To come soon: a combined Voice over IP Telephone and Voice Answering machine.
Hopefully you can see the value in this small investment. RA packs a whollop
for pennies a day... with added value in each update... How can you lose.
TWD Industries doesn't make money with Demo CDs, outdated manuals, less than
perfect Technical Support, Program Updates, and so on.
With TWD industries, the Demo is free, the Manual is free, the Technical
Support and the Program Updates are free the first year... and the software
itself is the best value you can find anywhere.
At TWD Industries we just want to make things become possible. For everyone.
RA can be used on many PCs simultaneously and is invisible to the remote user
since it does not appear on the task list and loads at OS startup. RA allows
real stealth surveillance as well as administration, instant training,
interactive chat and user assistance, by providing an easy way to work on
multiple remote computers at the same time.
RA is continuously evolving and comes with unsurpassed support: As a customer,
if you identify a bug, not only will TWD Industries give you a free license,
but usually a fix is provided by the next business day!
Requires : Windows 95-98-ME-NT4-2000-XP-2003, TCP/IP networked PCs

INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remote-Anything consists of only two programs:
- Master.exe: which allows to use and control distant Slave PC(s)
- Slave.exe : which allows to send information from a distant PC to Master(s)
In order to use RA, you COPY and RUN Slave on PC #1 and Master on PC #2
(Slave.exe on ONE computer and Master.exe on a DIFFERENT computer).
You're DONE!
That's the easiest possible installation procedure, isn't it?
The PCs MUST be connected by a working TCP/IP network (if you have any doubts,
check our website for a FAQ discussing the entire process).
When the Master asks for a UserKey type in 'trial', then type the IP address of
the PC where the Slave is (or use the autodetection button) and type in 'trial'
in the password entry box. You should connect now. If you do not, have a look
at the FAQ. It is also strongly suggested that you read the Manual available
from our website.
This Demo version allows to establish connections with only 2 Slaves for
five-minute sessions only and does not retrieve system passwords for security
reasons. The Demo version does not allow to change the default port number
(4000) and the default password (trial).
Registration will keep this from becoming a security threat: all Demo users
share the same port and can access your Slave PCs with the same password.
This program is not freeware. You are supposed to purchase licenses if you
use his demo longer than 30 days.
