Version 2 of Quick VNC for MacOS

Updated 2004-09-23 13:38:59 by jcw

Suppose you're at a MacOS desktop and you need a VNC viewer (but eventually this parenthetical comment will say something constructive about Remote Access for Windows); this happens reasonably often. While there are several fine VNC clients for MacOS, my experience is their installation is a bit "fiddly". In particular, most (?) (now?) depend on X. For instantantaneous gratification--if you already have a wish installed, such as TclTkAquaBI--all you need are tkvnc's two source files. Fantastic!

23sep04 jcw - With TclTkAquaBI, you can also do:

    /Library/Tcl/demos/Tclkit/sdx.kit update tkvnc.kit

Then double-click on the "tkvnc.kit" file you just fetched and you're off.

All you need is a tclkit and sdx, any platform. It all hinges on the fact that sdx is able to fetch and update starkits from the sdarchive repository, which contains quite a few apps & tools.
