Phindows local display/control of remote session: when phdit

Greetings QNX Community,

Having installed Phindows and successfully logged in to a new Photon
session on a remote QNX6 box over TCP/IP, I would now like to connect
to an existing session for observation and control.
This topic was brought up weeks/months ago and the net result seemed
to be that a QNX6 version of “phditto” needs to exist for that to
happen. So, my question to people with knowledge of the QSSL
development schedule is:
when? (or ever?)
This capability (direct viewing and control) is very important for a
future commercial product. However, direct session control with full
graphics would also be acceptable from a local QNX6 computer.

Thanks for any light on this subject.

QNX4 phditto -t qnx6box -n /dev/photon
Win32 phindows.exe -t qnx6box -n 1
(since QNX6 nodes aren’t numbered like QNX4 nodes and
phindows -n option only allows a number, phrelay on QNX6
translates the request as ‘connect to /dev/photon’)

There is one in the works but no dates yet.
