 THANKs, that's it.  I downloaded the previous version 

   vnc-3.3.2r6_x86_win32.zip
   =========================

 and everything runs smoothly. There is only one tiny drop of
bitterness:  the new features are not accessible with the old version.
The /config parameter is very useful as is the possibility to save
the parameters of a connection.  

 In a next upgrade it would be very nice if the neccessary
symbolic link "vncviewer -config <some-config-file>.vnc"
could be automatically created by vncviewer, not only the saving of
the parameters.  But that's not really essential - stability has
the highets priority.

 Thank you very much again, 

      Andreas.
