Rating: - PcAnywhere For Dummies
Book is outdated and is not compatible with the latest version (10.0 - 10.5). It is also limited to dial up connections and contains very little on connecting via internet.
Rating: - Take it off the shelf
This book is out of date. It is for an earlier version of pcAnywhere, version 9, not the current version 10.

I found this book to be extremely helpful in setting up and running the software. The guidance offered is clear, simple and straight-forward, and helped me get through problem several areas in using the software. Definitely a recommended purchase in the Dummies series if you use this prgram!
Rating: - Its a good book
I just received this book and I like it. All the concepts of installing, using and connecting with PcAnywhere are clearyly explained. I like the print style layouts and the user screens and clear and lucid explanations and instructions.
The only thing negative is that it does not have anything on multicasting and multiple users.
