RE: Compatibility issue with MacOS X VNC clients? (was: Slightly OT - Best MAC OS X VNC?)

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/

Georges,

Although based on VNC, UltraVNC hasn't been VNC-compatible for some time
now.  You won't see problems with newer TightVNC releases, because they
adhere to the RFB protocol specification and so are VNC-compatible.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
