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

[D. Leeuw]

Hi All,

I would realy like a true 16-bit VNC server. This would make checking on
roughly 500 cash-registers a bit easier. So if someone gets VNC server for
DOS working I am willing to do some testing. I'm no programmer, so can't
help with that.

Greetings,

Dennis
