This must be the latest version of tightvnc, or is it the version in Debian as well. I must admit that I have not checked it that well. > RealVNC supports only 3 (as explained in the man page) > Hextile > Raw > ZRLE > > So they both have two encodings in common.

It depends on the copyright of the book. I do unfortunatly not know that. However if it is rephrased enough it should be possible to include. But maybe it is easier to contact the tightvnc upstream author to ask him to describe it better in the manpage. :) Regards, // Ola > thanks > raju > -- --- Ola Lundqvist systemkonsult --- M Sc in IT Engineering ---- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Annebergsslingan 37 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 654 65 KARLSTAD | | http://opalsys.net/ Mobile: +46 (0)70-332 1551 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / --------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
