1. Introduction

   With "Desktop Delivery (DD)", you can use an Internet provider, a telephone
   line, or a LAN to connect with a remote personal computer (Agent PC) 
   and view images of the Agent PC on the personal computer in front of you
   (Manager PC).
   DD is a remote control software program that allows you to operate an Agent
   PC as if it were in front of you and maintain the Agent PC.  With the
   Manager PC, you can teach a friend how to operate an application, help a
   friend change the operating environment of his or her personal computer, or
   engage in a competitive game.  The choice is yours.  This remote control
   software allows you to communicate with far away friends through your
   personal computer.

   DD has the following characteristics:

   (1)  Easy to operate for Internet users
        You can use DD very easily if you are connected to the Internet.
	You can use DD immediately between DD Manager, which controls 
        the remote computer, and DD Agent, which is started in the remote
        computer, to operate the remote PC as you please.

   (2)  Fast operations with speedy remote settings
        The remote control operations performed with DD allows you to control
        transmission speed of the screen images.
        You can change the image size.  You can perform smooth remote operations
	to match your purpose.

   (3)  Chat Option
        DD provides a Chat feature that allows you to perform many communication
        operations through your personal computer.  When you use the Chat option
        while performing remote control operations on the screen, DD becomes
        a highly efficient, conversational communication tool.

6. Notes on Connecting to the Internet or Telephone Lines with Windows Dial-Up
   Networking

   (1)  When you connect to the Internet or a telephone line with Windows 
        Dial-Up Networking, the Manager PC may not be able to connect with the
        Agent PC because of the IP address.  If this happens, perform the
        operation described in "Troubleshooting" of "DD" Help file,
        and try to connect again.  When you perform the troubleshooting
        operation, keep the Dial-Up connection connected so that IP address
        does not change.

   (2)  If the dial-up connection is disconnected during a remote control session
        through a telephone line or Internet connection established by Windows
        Dial-Up Networking, it may take awhile for the Manager to see the error
        message sent from the Agent.

7. Caution about Remote Control

   * Note that the shape of the mouse cursor will not change when you execute a
     mouse operation, such as change window size, in the remote control area of
     the DD Manager window.
   * The DD Manager provides the [Refresh Active Window] command, which 
     updates and displays only the active window of the Agent PC.  However, use
     this command only when you are working on one window in the Agent PC.  
     If you set the command so that it refreshes only active window and then
     switch between windows of the Agent PC or operate the taskbar, the image
     may be displayed abnormally.
   * If another window is active or if the mouse cursor is in the Chat area of
     the DD Manager window when you try to operate the Agent PC by remote
     control from the DD Manager window, you will not be able to perform
     remote control operations with the mouse or keyboard.
     You must always click the remote control area in the DD Manager
     window before you execute a remote control operation.
   * Remote control operations will not work normally, when a full-screen image
     of the [MS-DOS prompt] window is displayed in the Agent PC.
