WinVNC 4.1.1 logging

[James Weatherall]

Scott,

As described in the usage information for winvnc4.exe, the syntax of the
-register option is:

winvnc4 -register <parameters> 

Is there some reason you want to do things via the command-line, rather than
just setting the equivalent option in the registry?

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
