WorkSpot is a small startup that uses VNC to allow our customers to view their Linux desktop, running on our servers, from anywhere they want. They can use a VNC Java applet to view their desktop using their favorite browser, or they can run a standalone native VNC viewer client.

We've updated the old AT&T Mac OS 9 vncviewer to support zlib & tight encoding. For Mac OS X we've modified the tightVNC Java VNC viewer to act as a real app.

We've also modified the Linux & Macintosh VNC viewer clients so that they can be started up as browser helper apps. (The Windows client already contains code to do so.) That lets our users click a link in the browser to automatically start up a VNC session using the native client: the browser downloads a VNC config file and then starts up the VNC viewer client which reads the config file to get the connection information (host, port, password, etc.).

The tightVNC Java applet has been modified to work around a bug with the color model in Apple's old version of Java on the Macintosh that caused the VNC applet to display the remote screen as mostly black.
