Cygwin32 VNCserver

[Rui Carmo]

Er... I had the URL for Cygwin32 around, but must have lost it when I =
switched machines. As I recall, it's a set of compatibility libraries to =
port Unix apps to NT. There was even someone brave enough to port =
X11R6... 8'))))))))))))))

Just one thing, though, that keeps puzzling me:

The likely usage of such an X server would be to run it locally on an NT =
machine and send X applications from Unix machines to it - and run =
vncviewer locally to see that X display, right?

Now, as I recall, vncviewer does NOT allow connections to localhost, =
right?=20

Would this be a good reason to rethink this well-meant "feature"?

Best regards,
