Sorry, my little brain doesn't follow that. A server is ethernet-connected to a bunch of users, no? Or, if it is connected to the Internet, then it is a "cloud," no?Or maybe more easily on a Windows server, which could distribute Windows-based DOS emulation without the need for intermediary software.
Oh! My apologies! Of course, and I'm a huge user of U2. (I've been away from Xy for too long.) So much so that I've written a modification to the $X routine so that my Enter key does not distinguish between a normal command line execution, like se /xxx/ and a <Helpkey> activated U2 frame, like XStreet.> And maybe some shared XPL scripts. Of course, the idea of shared XPL started long before networks were common, with U2 and its precursors
And I have written 20 idiosyncratic frames for my own use. So, yes, your and Robert's U2 is exactly what I had in mind.
Yeah, mine is too, but I do that as backup. When you say "access from any computer," do you use the Portable version in order to get path-independence? I will experiment on my own, butbut certainly the intention was there. As for running XyWrite "from the cloud", I've been doing it for years and I'm sure many others have, too. My XyWrite setup and essential data files are on Dropbox, which makes it easy to access them from any computer.
Dropbox used to offer that as "Packrat." Thank God I'm grandfathered in, so I have thousands of versions of some of my XPL scripts, in date order. I'm very interested in learning more about how one establishes a "personal cloud," which seems to be what you are doing. Does it have to be Linux-based>My goal, though, for reasons of privacy and security, is to move it all to a private server (in the cloud). As a start, I've developed a pretty-good version-history facility, a Dropbox feature I find essential.
