You're correct... we can't email batch files through our corporate email server here. What you'd have to do in a case like that is just include the text and indicate that the recipient should copy and paste the relevant text into a text document and save it as a batchfile. I have my doubts as to the ability of the average person to understand how to do that myself...
One alternative would be to zip up the batchfile and send a zip file to the remote recipient and instruct them to unpack the zipfile and run the batchfile inside. Of course, you might want to include the winvnc.exe file as well, just in case. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Yann Renard Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 12:32 PM To: VNC List Subject: Re: Shortcut to reverse connection parameters Yann Renard wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I have been using RealVNC to help several friends of mine over the > internet for years now.
