vncviewer for DOS or Win3.11 - anyone working on it?

[Federico Bianchi]

Once again...

Well: as of mr. Marinos, IMHO he should make a modified HAL91 system and
place it on a hard disk umsdos FS (i.e., under the good old FAT16
filesystem...). PCMCIA and his NE2000 can be easily compiled into the
kernel. If he has troubles with svgalib he can a) switch to an old
XFree86+Xvnc (XFree 2.x were quite smaller than the current distribution
is), and run it in 640x480x16 colours mode or b) look for informations
about his very card and modify svgalib to handle it (it would probably be
far less difficult than he might fear, having some working knowledge of
DJGPP).

As of mr. Hillman, VNC for 16 bit DOS would be far more interesting than a
32 bit port. If he succeeds in getting something working, please tell me.

BTW: should you have problems with your old compiler, there is a pretty
good 16 bit C compiler and assembler which can be freely used for
non-commercial purposes. Look for "Pacific C" on any search engine (the
main site is in Australia). The assembler has its own syntax, the object
format is non-standard (though they told me they'll mail me it), but the
code generator is stable and pretty good.

Best regards to you all

PS: as to the other guy who asked why Win32s isn't supported, there is a
    simple answer - no threads.
