BL> The first usage line is incorrect, and should be:

BL> i.e. the colon before the display number is NOT optional. The same

It seems like you're using old version with early TightVNC patches.
I would not recommend to use it at all. Recent TightVNC says:

=== cut ===
TightVNC viewer version 1.2.4 (based on VNC 3.3.3r2)

Usage: vncviewer [<OPTIONS>] [<HOST>][:<DISPLAY#>]
       vncviewer [<OPTIONS>] -listen [<DISPLAY#>]
       vncviewer -help

<OPTIONS> are standard Xt options, or:
        -via <GATEWAY>
        -shared (set by default)
        -noshared
        -viewonly
        -fullscreen
        -noraiseonbeep
        -passwd <PASSWD-FILENAME>
        -encodings <ENCODING-LIST> (e.g. "tight copyrect")
        -bgr233
        -owncmap
        -truecolour
        -depth <DEPTH>
        -compresslevel <COMPRESS-VALUE> (0..9: 0-fast, 9-best)
        -quality <JPEG-QUALITY-VALUE> (0..9: 0-low, 9-high)
        -nocursorshape

Option names may be abbreviated, e.g. -bgr instead of -bgr233.

Also, it has nice manual pages. :-)
