	!RDPClient is a RISC OS client for servers running the Remote Desktop Protocol, also called Terminal Services. Remote Desktop allows a client machine to log onto a server over a network and be presented with a virtual desktop display. Applications run entirely on the server under control of the client's keyboard and mouse with the display graphics being rendered on the client machine. Remote Desktop server software is available for both Linux and Microsoft Windows with many editions of Window having single user versions built in. Please note that Windows XP Home edition does not support the full Remote Desktop feature set and so cannot be accessed using !RDPClient - Windows XP Professional edition must be used instead. Some uses of !RDPClient include: Remote control of a Windows XP PC on a home network from a RISC OS machine. Providing access to Windows applications from a network of RISC OS machines using a Window Terminal Server. Remote administration of Windows Servers from a RISC OS machine over the Internet. !RDPClient is based on version 1.4.1 of the open source application 'rdesktop' and is released under the GNU Public Licence (GPL). This website hosts a binary only download of the software. Please email me at the address listed at the end of this page to request a copy of the current source code. This program requires the 32bit Shared C Library to be installed which can be downloaded from the Castle !System updates page.

Note: these modules require 'SharedSound' version 1.07 or later to be installed. !RDPClient has been tested on all versions of RISC OS from 3.70 upwards and is compatible with the Castle Iyonix PC.
