ovxbeep will work on any UNIX machine which supports a Motif-style X GUI.
Win 95 does not.  I think you can get it to work if you have an X-emulator
such as Exceed on the box, but I have never tried that.  Perhaps someone
else has.  I am afraid that otherwise you would have to send some Windows
command to pop-up a window on an NT machine and not ovxbeep.   NetView for
NT ships such a command called nvplay, but I don't know what other tools
you might use if the box does not have NetView.

Subject:  [NV-L] OVX Beep




Hi Fred,

Thanx a lot.

The "xhost +" has solved the problem....

Another small question... Can I send such a popup with or without beep to a
remote PC (Win 95 or Win NT) from my NetView UNIX server? The PC is
reachable from NetView Unix server using TCP/IP protocol.

I used "NET SEND" command for this function from NetView NT successfully.

Thanx and Regds,
