You re-quiestion tells me that you make some thinking error. My comment is about winvnc. at this time, forget all about Xvnc. > > 1. I connect to a VNC Server from my office Desktop Compare that to hooking up a second display, mouse and keyboard. It's about the same, vnc does this software wise. Nothing more, nothing less. > 2.

The application runs still at the local machine, with the local display and the local keyboard and local mouse. If you stop the VNC viewer, it's exactly the same as switchin off the monitor (and mouse and keyboard if they have an off switch.) > > 3. Now I connect from Home Desktop to the same VNC > Server. This is again like connecting just an other display, mouse and keyboard. It can be the 3rd, 2nd, or even many more, who counts? > 4.

NO, nothing is started, it is still running, like if you switch your monitor back on. > > So my question is, where is the VNC code which > remembers the viewers' state, so that when I connect > from Home, gives the same desktop (i.e restore the > same desktop to that of the Office Viewer, with all > the opened applications at that time) to the new > viewer ? It's not in the viewer. What you can find, is code to read the video memory and send that to the client. > > Hope the question is clear this time. Am I clear to you now? I cannot be any clearer. The only addition I can make is on Xvnc but that needs unix and X11 knowledge --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
