Peter, You may wish to check your email - you were allocated pseudo-encoding number -307 earlier this afternoon.
Please note, for future reference, that if you choose to unilaterally allocate yourself encoding numbers then your VNC-based software will no longer be VNC-compatible and your users will hit problems if they ever try to use it with standard VNC or VNC-compatible software.
