For this to be useful EVERY version of VNC would need to include it, so older versions would still be unknown. This would also be a unnecessary security risk. If you know what flavor/version of VNC is running you can use a (hypothetical) exploit against people that haven't updated. Assuming all the versions conform to the VNC spec, the clients and servers can be interchanged with a basic level of compatibility without this information. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
