I just want to make a general comment: I have been using VNC for some time on a number of platforms. I have sometimes been frustrated and had to dig to find answers, but those researches gave me more insight than simply asking questions passively. VNC is a truly outstanding piece of software and as another person noted, it was developed as an internal effort and not for commercialization. We who use it should be very grateful that we have been allowed to share this work and we should try to give back if we ever have the opportunity. Thanks again to the VNC crowd for a *really* great body of work. Joel E.
