Thanks for pointing that out, James. When I'm at a braindead point in my proposal writing, I will certainly check it out. But I wonder if ViNCe or anyone else can provide personal accounts of how well ZRLE encoding works relative to TightVNC. Reason being it takes alot of twiddling to compile TightVNC on solaris, as well as customizing the startup script. I will probably have to remove it to avoid confusion in testing RealVNC. It'd be nice to get some encouraging testimonies before doing that. It would be really great if in fact it improves response time over slow networks. I recently got rid of highspeed DSL and am relying on the university's 28Kbps lines. Tight encoding with maximum compression is barely usable. Also, it's a real pity that Tight and Real did not merge. So many possibilities for cooperation and shared credit and legacy. But I guess it all depends on how much time people have to get involved to the degree that's necessary for collaboration.
