Syntax for running java viewer standalone under Windows?

[Tristan Richardson]

Hi Shaun,

Certainly if you're using the Sun Java you can run the vncviewer.jar as 
an "executable JAR file".  It doesn't matter what directory it's in. 
For example:

java -jar c:\javavnc\vncviewer.jar

You can add arguments just like with the native viewers, e.g.:

java -jar vncviewer.jar -shared

Giving a -h option will give a usage message.  However I'm afraid there 
is no -listen option at the moment.  Also I don't know if this will work 
with MS Java or not.

Cheers

Tristan
