Thanks for the pointer!
It's indeed a really useful tool.
I had used MaxiVista a long while ago. It was really useful to join my
TabletPC and my desktop computer (which does not have a dual head
graphics card). But when changing the OSs it gout out of sight :-(
So in Sunday I bought and downloaded the current version.
Unfortunately it dies not want to run in my Vista system :-(
So I will have to go a bit deeper into it.
