Well it's a bummer that he does not have the code, hopefully he can
recover it and post it since it would be nice for somebody to move on
with the project.
Thankfully there have not been any major changes to the protocol except
for TightVNC's low bandwidth JPEG compression. Since the server an
client negotiate a protocol they should be able to work.

We use it extensively at work for providing remote control of Windows 9x
& W2K systems. The VNC server does not work as well as it does under
*nix, but it sure beats running around the building when somebody is
having troubles with their system, or you need to install/configure some
software.

P.S. Currently there are three main branches...
VNC - The orginal developed at AT&T labs UK
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
(now at www.realvnc.org)
TightVNC - Based off of the AT&T labs version, but with added
features to make it function better over low bandwidth
lines. www.tightvnc.org
TridiaVNC - A Commercially supported version based on the AT&T VNC
Supports the TightVNC extensions, SSL encryption, and
several other features.
