ABSTRACT:
A system for allowing multiple parties to collaborate is disclosed. The system comprises multiple remote computers, each having a display and storage space for programs, and a host computer having a storage space for programs, the host computer running a program which is shared by the remote computers. The system also includes means for linking the remote computers and the host computer together, using a network, substantially identical programs, running on each remote computer, for allowing the user of each of the remote computers to select and run a program stored in the storage space of that remote computer, provide program input to the program selected, for showing output of the program selected on the display of each of the remote computers, allowing the user of each remote computer to draw annotation images on the display of the user's remote computer, and replicating the annotation images on the displays of the remote computers.
