[AG-TECH] win32 + correct vnc program

[Terry.Rankine at csiro.au]

Sorry

Running AG 3.0.2 and real vnc 4.2.8
On joining a shared session via the venue client. (joining a vnc session
using vncviewer)
I get the -passwd option is not valid.


The checkout file (the vnc file in version control) seems to take this
"passwd" argument - so I will use that version for now.

Hi Terry,

Your email doesn't make it clear if you are having problems with the 
VenueVNC client or server?

Regarding VenueVNCClient, copy TightVNC 1.2.9's vncviewer.exe to:
  C:\Program Files\AGTk-3\SharedApplications\VenueVNC\
The original vncviewer.exe that came with AGTk 2.4 can be downloaded
from:
 
http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/sharedapps/Venu
eVNC/vncviewer.exe

Regarding VenueVNCServer (and RealVNC 4), info on how to run it can be
found 
here:
 
http://www-new.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.3/
patches/VenueVNCServer.html
(note: VenueVNCServer.py comes with AGtk 2.4 and later). I've never used

VenueVNCServer on Windows, so have no first hand experience.
