Unfortunately, the Integraph workstation has gone off site to a
demo and won't be back for a week or so.  I won't be able to
get at the registry until it comes back. <sigh>

On a brighter note, I just tried the DebugMode/DebugLevel
options with VNC server app mode on my Win95 box in my office.
Debug mode worked, displaying the console and generating the
log file!  The difference in the registry on my Win95 box is
that there were no VNC-specific DWORD values in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\ section.  I added in
the DebugMode and DebugLevel DWORDs, set them as prescribed in
the documentation, started VNC sever app mode, at it just worked.

Perhaps there is a configuration error in the registry (or
elsewhere) in the Integraph workstation.  When I can gain access
to the workstation again, I'll see about those differences and
getting an export of the registry to you.
