    There is a CVS tree for VNC running on our developer web
    site:


    Full instructions for accessing the CVS tree are available
    there. We are running a separate developer's email list
    as well.

    Tridia is working on integrating a large number of enhancements
    into a central tree. Our current focus is maintaining compatibility
    with the RFB 003.003 protocol. This is why we implemented zlib
    compression as a new encoding.

    Exactly, enhancements such as the iXvnc (inetd) update only minimally
    impact the executable size but provide a significant functional benefit.

    Are you interested in doing the development or having it done
    by someone else? Tridia provides consulting services related
    to VNC/RFB:
