Error while waiting for server message

[James Weatherall]

Angelo,

This information is not correct.  The VNC Viewer's AutoReconnect feature is
capable of reconnect without requiring the password to be re-entered by the
user regardless of whether the connection was launched from a VNC
Configuration (.vnc) file.

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
