******************************************************************

[WIN32] 26-Oct-2000: Windows Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added desktop optimizations upon initial VNC connection from
  Jeremy Peaks with many updates.  The following registry entries
  turn on the optimizations:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\OptimizeDesktop       REG_SZ   "Yes"
        disables all four: full window drag, font smoothing,
        wallpaper and pattern
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisablePattern        REG_SZ   "Yes"
        disables desktop pattern
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableWallpaper      REG_SZ   "Yes"
        disables desktop wallpaper
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableFontSmoothing  REG_SZ   "Yes"
        disables desktop screen font smoothing
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableFullWindowDrag REG_SZ   "Yes"
        disables desktop full window updates during drags
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\ResHeight             REG_SZ   "#pixels#"
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\ResWidth              REG_SZ   "#pixels#"
        when present together, gives new resolution to enable
        upon VNC connection
  Please note that there is a bug which prevents pattern disabling
  from working on WinNT 4.0 and 5.0 (Win2k) currently.  Note also,
  these are *string* values, not the usual DWORDs used elsewhere
  in the WinVNC server.

[LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 26-Oct-2000: Unix Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added Tim Waugh's updates to the iXvnc patch.
- Added the "-nolocalcursor" option to the vncviewer to optionally
  disable the local "dot" cursor.
- Integrated Andre Moriera's iXvnc patch.  The TridiaVNC Xvnc
  server can now be launched from inetd, using the "-inetd"
  command line parameter.
