PC text in VNC?

[Mark Krieger]

Hi all,

I just subscribed to this list, as I have been investigating vnc for a
specific use:

	I want to monitor some text in a Windows program on a remote PC
	(or several) on a Sun workstation on my desk. But I do not want to
	monitor it with my eyes, instead I want to do so programmatically.
	So that in the case of certain text (error conditions), I want to
	program the remote mouse to click and retry; only in the case of
	a number of failures do I want to be given control. I can see how
	to move and click the mouse from the program by changing C code
	in vncviewer source, but I do not ever see any Text coming over
	from the PC; it looks to me like text comes over as bitmaps, this
	makes it *real* hard to know what the text is...

Anyone add text objects to the winvnc code? Am I missing something basic,
in other words, is there a way to send text over the wire winvnc to
vncviewer? An option perhaps?

thanks,

Mark
