And it just happens I was in Canada for 3 weeks, and one of my mail accounts wasn't forwarded. And I already had enough mail (from the other account) that I didn't even notice! >(Hey, Jon, any chance of an update coming along sometime...? >Not that I'm rushing you, since it would probably mean me having to >update vncPatches68k, which I haven't had to do for a year...)

Can't >remember...) Disable CoRRE at the server end for AT&T WinVNC, and RRE at the server or client end for VNCThing. Although I don't know whether the new version of VNCThing has fixed that bug. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a21 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?
