Re: RDI Opening Local PC File from Command Line Switch

Do you mean the one, where Markus Litters and his guys are working on?

I have seen a demo of that one at POW3R conference in Wuerzburg (Germany) last November - and it was impressive. Like jumping from a procedure call directly into the service program code and much more. 

But they are a small team, and AFAIK still working on it. And probably it might get a "paid-for" feature - but who knows. 

I will try to find out, if there is an availability date. 

Kind regards
Daniel
