What is VNC ?

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing, developed by ORL. See VNC site for
details.

     Jan. 1999, ORL has been acquired by AT&T to form AT&T Laboratories
     Cambridge.

VNC Viewer for OS/2 PM

There are two VNC viewer's for OS/2, XFree86/2 version and Java Version. X
version requires X server, and Java version requires a lot of memory
(resource monitor says it eat up over 10MB of memory).

VNC viewer is orginally, thin client. X/Java version is FAT client for my
environment. So I start porting VNC viewer for native PM. It requires no
additional programs (but requires TCP/IP, of course), and eat up less memory
(so start up faster).

Current Status

Now, I implemented all features and entered beta stage (beta 0.04). It works
a little faster than old alpha, and now support special key handlings.

In alpha stage, many person send me suggestions and I implements them as
possible. But, I have dificulties on implementing some features. If
suggested feature is not in this version, sorry.

Now I prepared document for this program.. See document "vncview.txt" for
usage of this program.

     See Screen Shot of X (over Xvnx) and Win95 (over WinVNC) on top of
     OS/2 PM.

Of course, you need to setup VNC server before you start VNC viewer. VNC
servers are available on many platforms. See VNC site for details.

Program is compiled and linked with EMX/GCC (0.9c). So it requires EMX
runtime (> 0.9c).
