constants and types used in low level hooking. I suppose that this is
happening because some functions, types and constants (like WH_KEYBOARD_LL,
KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT, etc.) are WinNT specific. Do you have any recommendation
for a Win95 build? Should I just strip off such code?

LowLevel hooks are very new and weren't around when VC5 came out.  Because
of the way hooks are coded, it's probably easiest to put some #defines for
the LowLevel hook values at the beginning of the VNCHooks file.  This will
let you build WinVNC without havig to lose that functionality if ou ever run
under NT.

Oh, right! Thanks a lot. It's clear now, and this made me think seriously
about changing to VC++ 6.

233MHz, I did a simple test: just moving the mouse pointer around (no mouse
buttons pressed). The effect was the following: at the server machine, I
could see a smooth movement of the pointer, but, an the viewer, I just could
see a mouse pointer jumping terribly, unless I moved it VERY slowly. Well,
it just seemed that something was very wrong, because all I was doing was
moving normally the mouse around the desktop, using 16 bits color depth,
800x600 at both ends. What could cause so much overhead?

And you were absolutely right. The test was done having only "Poll Full
Screen" checked. I apologize for such dummy question.

Thank you very much.

Jeff.
