Hello Everyone,

I haven't been much active on these lists, but I have been working on the 
VNC Viewer for Windows CE that I downloaded from the AT&T website, that 
was still in beta. Due to the fortunate sponsoring by my professor, I 
have been able to make soem good changes to the viewer for Windows CE and 
have also been able to port the TightVNC encodings to it. I have put up 
the sources online and binaries for MIPS and ARM processors, however the 
binaries are experimental, I would more recommend you compile the sources 
with the free Embeeded Visual Tools from Microsoft. The page is: 
http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~ssamak and please do email me in case some of 
the links are screwed up.
Changes were:
- made significant improvement to the way the local framebuffer is 
stored, and increased the speed of loading up and updates fro the 
servers by using direct memory copying of the received updates.
- ported the TightVNC viewer 1.2.3 encodings to it and improved on them 
by making Tight and Zlib do the decoding directly onto the framebuffer, 
without creating a temprorary buffer.
- added an experiemental option in the menu called Precise Mouse, which 
makes the viewer store the mouse movements and capture also missed mouse 
move events, so that you can get a much smoother and more precise 
movement of the mouse (try drawing fast circles in paint with and without 
Precise Mouse option).
- made all sorts of bug fixes

I still feel that there are tons of things to be done for the viewer, 
like scaling. I have experiment with a different kind of scaling (other 
than the one done by the PalmVNC), 
implemented in the server, but havent spend t enought time on it to have 
it run smoothly.
My wishful thinking is though to have this version become part of a 
distribution, like TIghtVNC and I would love to keep supporting it. There 
are some changes I have made that could be well reflected onto the Viewer 
for Windows.
Please email me with any questions or comments on this.

Thanks,
Samoil

ps: to try out the binaries, just copy the dll files to the windows 
folder on your Pocket PC, and remeber that I have only tested VNC on 
Cassiopea E-115 with Pocket PC 2000 (Win CE 3.0) running on it.
