It's a fundamental part of our business at WorkSpot. We offer a Linux-based desktop accessible through a browser or native VNC client. WorkSpot is hosting a session on "The Future of VNC (Virtual Network Computing)" Wednesday, July 19, 2000 4:15 pm to 5:30 pm and a BOF (Birds of a Feather, informal discussion also focused on VNC) Wednesday, July 19, 2000 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm refreshments will be served VNC Session Abstract: Virtual Network Computing [VNC] enables an economical and effective client-server capability within a Linux environment. Given this, VNC holds much promise for extending the value of Linux to a broader set of users across a wide range of markets. This session is intended to increase the visibility of VNC within the Linux open source community, acknowledge the contributions made to date, discuss the current limitations, and build support for turning VNC into an extensible, robust delivery vehicle. Our speakers are: James Weatherall AT&T Labs, Cambridge UK: James joined Olivetti & Oracle Research Labs in Cambridge immediately after graduating in 1997. He spent a pre-doctorate year working on WinVNC, the VNC server for Win32, and on experimental lightweight VNC servers for embedded household devices. (The Olivetti & Oracle Research Labs were purchased by AT&T in 1998, to become AT&T Labs Cambridge.) Adam J. Richter President Yggdrasil Computing, Inc. In the late 80's and early 90's Adam Richter made his living porting and enhancing the X window system for a number of companies throughout Silicon Valley. In 1992, Mr. Richter formed Yggdrasil Computing, the company that founded the Linux CDROM industry. Adam believes that VNC has tremendous potential for enabling much thinner computing interfaces and has worked to forge industry alliances between Yggdrasil and a number of other companies to make that a reality. Mr. Richter has a BA in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. We hope to see you there!

It worked quite well, although you had to do nasty command line stuff,- on a psion that doesn't have a command line by default. So, I have added two fields; one for the host and the other for the port. I've also added a help screen that tells you how to move the screen around - i.e the psion screen behaves like a window on the larger VNC screen. The whole thing is packaged as an SIS file, and can be downloaded from: http://www.imhotek.com in the downloads section, at the bottom The reason I have taken so long it that I've only just got around to rebuilding the SIS file using a proper psion UID number! I will be changing the host/port display to make this a combo box, that saves previous servers, at some point.

A new version of the VNC Viewer for OpenVMS VAX and Alpha is now available. The VNC333R1VMS010 package contains V1.0 of the OpenVMS VNC Viewer, which is based on VNC V3.3.3r1. The port to VMS was performed by Hunter Goatley and David North. It comes as a VMSINSTAL kit, and provides VNCVIEWER and VNCPASSWD images for both VAX and Alpha. (Note that a VNC server for VMS is not included, though we hope to look into the possibility of adding it sometime.) You can get the VMS VNC Viewer using one of the following URLs: ftp://ftp.wku.edu/vms/fileserv/vnc333r1vms010.zip ftp://ftp.process.com/wku/vms/fileserv/vnc333r1vms010.zip ftp://ftp.tmk.com/ftp-wku-edu/vms/fileserv/vnc333r1vms010.zip http://www2.wku.edu/vms/fileserv http://www.tmk.com/ftp/ --------- David North -------------------------------------------------------------------- The vnc-announce mailing list see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- From tjr@uk.research.att.com Thu Oct 26 20:14:47 2000 From: tjr@uk.research.att.com (Tristan Richardson) Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 19:14:47 +0000 Subject: VNC Unix and Java packages updated to 3.3.3r2 Message-ID: <200010261701.SAA27122@drupe.uk.research.att.com> AT&T Laboratories Cambridge announces the release of VNC version 3.3.3r2 for unix (X window system) platforms. This release has some enhancements to the X VNC server, plus some minor changes to the X VNC viewer. There is also a minor update to the Java viewer. A summary of the changes is below. For more details please see the VNC web pages at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc , in particular http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/xvnchistory.html vncconnect New helper program for Xvnc, which causes it to make reverse connections to a listening VNC viewer. This is similar to WinVNC's "Add New Client" / -connect feature. Xvnc New option -inetd incorporating Andre Moreira's iXvnc functionality. Fix to hextile encoding, thanks to Michael A. Fetterman - this may be the cause of the "0 bpp problem". New connect out feature by using the vncconnect command. Fix some non-ascii capitalisation issues, thanks to Vlad Harchev. Fix bounding box calculation for arcs. Other minor bug fixes. vncserver Sets DISPLAY to use unix domain socket if possible (:dpynum rather than host:dpynum). Option -kill should now work if you give it $DISPLAY as an argument. vncviewer Fix Xaw string copy bug, thanks to Tim Waugh - this fixes the problems with the password dialog with recent versions of linux Java viewer Improve keyboard handling for Latin-1 characters and ctrl-_. Change constants so (hopefully) will compile with JDK 1.3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tristan Richardson tjr@uk.research.att.com www.uk.research.att.com/~tjr --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT&T Laboratories Cambridge, 24a Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1QA, UK Tel: +44 1223 343000 Fax: +44 1223 313542 www.uk.research.att.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- The vnc-announce mailing list see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
