About VNC
---------
VNC is a truly thin client protocol which enables the use of one computer
(the server) from another (the client), by :
- Enabling remote view of the server screen in a window on the client screen
- Enabling the use of the keyboard of the client in place of the keyboard of the
server
- Enabling the use of the mouse of the client in place of the mouse of the
server

About AmiVNC
------------
AmiVNC is an experimental VNC server for the Amiga.

Requirements
------------
To run AmiVNC you need :
- An AmigaOS4 computer
- any native planar Amiga screenmode (PAL, NTSC, AGA etc.)
  or 15, 16, 24 or 32 bit RTG mode (CGFX or Picasso96)
- a TCP-IP stack (AmiTCP or Miami(dx) or RoadShow or any bsdsocket.library
compliant stack),
- enough free ram to hold a copy of the Workbench screen,
- a computer with a VNC Client (Mac, Unix or Linux box, PC, Amiga).

Myself, I use an older VNC client for Windows, which can be found at
http://s.guillard.free.fr/OS4/vncviewer.zip and a workbench screen set as
1024x768x16 bit.

To build AmiVNC you need :
- The AmigaOS4 SDK

History / News
--------------

2.0.2
- removed the "fastmode hack" used for 16 bit screenmodes, which was not
compatible
  with changed RTG endianness in OS4
