Look Terry! =) -----FW: <Pine.LNX.3.96.990311105758.20218A-100000@quoll.daa.com.au>----- Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 11:08:56 +0800 (WST) From: James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au> To: gnome-announce-list@gnome.org, Gnome List <gnome-list@gnome.org> Subject: ANNOUNCE: A VNC viewer for GNOME I have got a mostly working VNC (virtual network computing) viewer for GNOME. It currently supports enough of the VNC protocol to be useful (all pixel encodings except hextile). The authentication code in the package is a modified version of the DES code in samba (ie. it is not a full implementation, and is only useful for hashing passwords for authentication), so make up your own mind about whether it is legal in your country. It currently doesn't support clipboard transfers and hextile encoding, but does allow you to set the display to a bit depth not matching your visual and make it display correctly (eg displaying 16bit from a 16bit connection to a 24bit visual), so you can reduce the bandwidth usage of the viewer without going all the way down to 8bit. You can get gnome-vnc-viewer from ftp://ftp.daa.com.au/pub/james/gnome/gnome-vnc-0.1.tar.gz James Henstridge. -- Email: james@daa.com.au WWW: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/ -- FAQ: Frequently-Asked Questions at http://www.gnome.org/gnomefaq To unsubscribe: mail gnome-list-request@gnome.org with "unsubscribe" as the Subject. --------------End of forwarded message------------------------- --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <http://www.freebsdzine.org>; asmodai(at)wxs.nl The idea does not replace the work...
