Re: EXE at server

There is an EXE file on a web server (assumed to be a linux binary).

Er, it's unlikely to be a Linux binary if it's an EXE file. EXE is a CP/M,
MS-DOS, and now Win32 executable file format.

This executable will show an interactive presentation on a monitor.

Is it possible to get the server to run the program, but display the
interacttive presentation at a client machine (over the internet) ?

If the program has been properly written as an X client, it is indeed
possible to write an X server that will serve display functionality over
the Net. But it probably isn't an X client, because nobody's ever that
lucky. :-(

So the answer is *probably* no, not without changing the program itself.
