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.
