RE: Re: What the use of vnchooks.dll ?

The hookdll give hints about the possible changes. It does this by hooking messages
to the windows.  The hookdll can internal use different methods, the reg settings help to use
the correct method.
The hookdll is not needed, vnc can also use other detection methods
1) Pure polling 
2) Hookdll (all)
3) vncdrv (w2k>)
4) ddihook (9.x)

WhenI'm debugging, all I copy is winvnc.exe and vncviewer.exe. Everythingelse is just frosting on the cake.Jeremy is right, the mirror driver is MUCH better if you can use it.Sean> -georges> > > -----Original
