Wez:

 	Hello, and Happy New Year! Thanks for writing. I probably misused
the term "VNC-compatible" -- I meant it to indicate that the EchoVNC
server accepts both direct and echoWare-relayed connections from the
RealVNC Viewer, and the RealVNC server accepts both direct and relayed 
connections from the EchoVNC Viewer. If there's something else I should
add (remove?) to our flavor to maintain VNC compatibility, please point
me to the details and I'll pursue it.
 	Regarding the Mirror-Driver problem, you are right, and we're
working on a Mirage-Driver update for the next release.

cheers,
Scott
