Feature request: Minimize in "PARALLEL CABLE CONNECTION

Post by *Jqn »

It's a little wish.

When I connect two PC's across parallel cable, in Client PC I've all control, but in SERVER PC it's not possible to minimize TC window, and it blocks the screen for other uses.

The idea is that the "server" shouldn't heavily used during the parallel port transfer, because it slows down a lot. The problem is that most parallel ports don't support interrupts, so TC doesn't use interrupt input output, but waits for each byte (which is of course very CPU-consuming).
