STRCM is free, its been GPL'd and source is there to 'fix' ( but I'm not a C++ guy ) I was using VNC back in the Olivetti days, and back then I wasn't aware that you could specify a port ( beyond being relative to teh base port of 5900 ).. It may have been possible, but wasn't documented well

Tony, It's always been possible to specify (almost) arbitrary ports, even with the : syntax. The only has 5900 added to it if it is in the range 0-99 - it's assumed in that case to be a display number rather than a port. :: overrides that optimisation and forces to be treated as a port regardl
