- 1. *** Introduction **************************************************
-
- VNC is a great and famous remote control, multi-OS tool, created at
- the ATT Research Labs de Cambridge-http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc
-
- This Ultr@VNC version is based on:
- - RealVNC 336 & 337
- and includes:
- - Most of eSVNC 1.1.2 r2 functionnalities
- - Most of Vdacc-VNC functionnalities
- - Cursor handling code and Tight encoding from TightVNC
- - VNC QuickDesk toolbar code
- - And various code modifications coming from talented developpers.
-
- - Since v1.0.0 RC 12, Ultr@VNC FileTransfer can transfer whole Directories
- For this it uses "zip32.dll" and "unzip32.dll" dll files and source code
- coming from the Info-Zip group. Please see at the end of this
- document (section 7.) for details about these dlls
- Update: Since the 1.0.5.2 Release, these 2 dlls are no more needed
-
- - Since v1.0.0 RC 12, the viewer Toolbar looks more professionnal, thanks to
- Lim Chee Aun (http://www.phoenity.com/) who has designed it.
-
- Ultr@VNC brings tons of functionnalities and high performances even
- over modem connections.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Many thanks to all people who help us developping, testing, stabilizing,
- answering users questions and animating the forum and the mailing list

-
- 2. *** Features *****************************************************
-
- * Supported Operating Systems: Win9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7
-
- * Auto configuration and Quick Options for easy connections.
-
- * Viewer Toolbar for a quick access to the main functions and greatly
- improved ergonomy.
-
- * High Speed. On W2000, XP, Vista and 7, Ultr@VNC can use an additional and
- optional Video Driver (aka Mirror Driver) that dramatically improves performances
- and reduces CPU load over LAN connections. So when the bandwidth
- is good - typically over a LAN - Ultr@VNC lets you work on a remote
- computer with an incredible 'real-time' feeling (hundreds of screen
- updates per second), just as if you were sitting in front of it. A
- WinVNC server under Win9x uses the standard hookdll in combination
- with ddi hooking to improve the updates handling.
- Ultr@VNC also features an ultra fast Fullscreen Polling mode without any
- additionnal driver.
- Whatever the connection speed, Ultr@VNC brings you optimal comfort.
- Note that this driver is distributed separatly from Ultr@VNC.
-
- * Embedded File Transfer with intuitive Graphical User Interface allowing
- for easy file copy between local and remote computers. It uses the current
- VNC connection and files are compressed during their transfer.
- File transfers can be asynchronous so screen updates can continue while
- a file is being transfered in background.
- The delta transfer mode allows to resume interrupted transfers.
-
- * MS Logon/NT security support. You can manage server access using MS Users,
- Domains and Groups. It also includes a logging feature where all actions are
- written to a log file.
-
- * Bandwidth Saving Strategies that provide optimal responsiveness over slow
- connections: Server Screen Scaling, Cache Management , Local Cursor handling,
- reduced colors modes (256, 64, 8, Grey scales).
-
- * Advanced JavaViewer featuring FileTransfer, MSLogon and reduced color modes.
-
- * Data Stream Modification Plugin System allowing any kind of operation on the
- data exchanged between client and server, from an external DLL (independant,
- not linked and not distributed with Ultr@VNC): additionnal rights checking,
- communication timing, data recording/persitence, encryption...
- it's up to the DLL developper.
- Several encryption plufgins are available on the web.
-
- * Optional "always-on-top" Viewer Status Window dynamically displaying
- connection informations.
-
- * Various View Modes including Full-Screen, Scaled and Windowed. Full-Screen
- mode lets you see the remote screen on the entire screen of your display.
- Scaled Viewer mode lets you see the scaled remote screen in a window with a
- user defined size. Scaled Server mode generates less network traffic from
- server side and use a pixel blending algorithm to optimize the display.
- Fuzzy Mode combines Server and Viewer scaling to provide reasonable visual
- comfort and speed even over very slow connections.
- The Autoscaling mode scales the view so it fits the viewer screen.
-
- * Dynamic Single Window/Full Desktop view switching, from viewer side.
- * Server's Desktop resolution switching without disconnection.
- * Dynamic Mouse and Keyboard locking on remote server, from viewer side.
- * Server Screen Blanking, from viewer side
-
- * Embedded Client/Server Text Chat.
-
- * Possibility to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote server
- (when WinVNC is run as a service), or any other special key.
-
- * Support for 32/24/16/8 bits colors.
- Both Ultr@VNC Viewer and Server are compatible with RealVNC, TightVNC, eSVNC,
- PalmVNC2 (with server scaling feature)...
- Ultr@VNC server can work as a Service under all supported operating systems,
- allowing remote user Logon/Logoff as well as Remote Shutdown.
-
- * Connectivity: Standard Viewer and HTTP JavaViewer connections over TCP/IP,
- as well as XDMCP direct X11 connection (still experimental).

-
-
- 7. Details
-
- * How does Ultr@VNC use Info-Zip
-
- Ultra WinVNC and vncviewer both use 2 dlls for Directory Transfer
- (Note: from v1.0.5.2 these libraries are embedded into the exes)
-
- * Zip32.dll
- It is the original Info-Zip Zip 2.3 version (without encryption) that
- can be found on the Info-Zip sites, as well as its source code:
- http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
- http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
- ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip
-
- * Unzip32.dll
- Has been compiled using the portable unzip550 source code that can be
- found on the Info-Zip sites:
- http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
- http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
- ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip
- THE ONLY thing that was modified is that the "crypt.c" and "crypt.h"
- files have been replaced with the dummy (null) ones coming from the
- Zip 2.3 sources. So this unzip32.dll IS NOT the original Info-Zip
- "unzip32.dll" and does not contain any encryption/decryption code or binary.
-

- For any bug/pb regarding the use of these dlls by Ultr@VNC (Directory
- Transfer), please only send mails to Ultr@VNC team (http://ultravnc.sf.net)
