Abstract

Method and systems for simulating a high-resolution display of a first computer on a low- resolution display of a second computer are disclosed. A shared application runs on a host computer and its output is displayed in windows both on the host computer and on shadow computers. At any one time, the user of the low-resolution display sees only a portion of the high-resolution display but can scroll the portion seen through the entire high-resolution display.
