Hi all,
Back in December I asked if anyone was working on a port of VNC Server to
Mac OS X and the reply was no. I have subscribed myself to the list for a
few weeks now to see if I could see anyone talking about it and I have
not.
So, is there anyone working on an OS X port or planning to?
Thanks in advance.
