There is a patched version of VNC by Jay Freeman that he posted to the list a couple of years ago: http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2001-February/020303.html Not much activity (and his FTP site says he had a server crash), but the binary and patch are still available. Maybe someone that wants multi-monitor support bad enough can pick up the torch and see what is going on with it. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
