Dumb question of the day!

[Dave]

Can anybody help me remember what a small piece of software was called
that in the background allowed the key press on one computer simulate
the key press on the other if networked together.

Reason for this is I have two requirements coming up, one of running ppt
in different languages and the other running ppt as a mirrored image
(don't ask, it's set design and opposite wipes etc.)

I know about powershow, but that runs on one computer. Not only risky in
the "live" environment but also resource hungry, videos etc.

Was it VNC remote control software ?

ultravnc or winvnc or similar?

Doesn't ring any bells, but you have set me thinking in a different
direction.
I think the original software used the serial ports...

Anyway, how do you run simultaneous ppt shows?

No, not to worry, I s'pose I'll have to use a trained muppet and hope
they can keep up.

Anyway thanks TAJS I'll have to hunt a bit deeper.
