ZRLE is at least as good at Tight in terms of compression in most situations and has lower overhead. What confuses people when comparing the two is that the Tight viewer renders cursors locally, and under Windows has an incremental update style (see earlier posts on the subject). The upcoming VNC release has a number of features which improve things considerably in this area. :) > It would be really great if in fact it improves > response time over slow networks.

That said, I've had very good experiences using the soon-to-be-released VNC versions over a 33Kbps modem, so you may find the same thing. On the other hand, you may not. ;) Cheers, -- Dr. James "Wez" Weatherall RealVNC Ltd. - http://www.realvnc.com - The Home of VNC _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
