I'm sorry Hetz, but you have it a little backwards on this matter. CP
doesn't charge a 1000$ for the GUI, you need 1000$ ONLY for the X/Motif
GUI client. On Solaris you can use the simple GUI, which does the same
job, but kind of stinks in terms of Interface.
However, the GUI comes on the CD for windows, so you can simply define
your windows machine as a GUI client, and then manage it from the Windows
machine. Although the Motif/X & Windows GUI clients are totaly similar,
they both are distinguishable from the non-Motif client by this important
feature: In the Motif and Windows GUI you can put some of the rules into
"disabled" mode, which means when compiling the rule-base, these are not
active. In the regular X interface (Not Motif), it doesn't have that
feature, so you end up compiling more rules that you actually need. In
version 4.1 of CP that's not much of an issue, cause if rules will colide
the compiler will error, but in 4.0, that was a biggy cause the compiler
didn't give error messages about this.
