Dutch for "customer" (or "client"). [Stevel] is such a pro. Until he can get here, and tell the story himself, note that his NO2004 presentation [http://www.digitalsmarties.com/Tcl2004/klant_slides.pdf] puts in paying customers hands NOW what IBM apparently believes will only take five million USD to build: " • centralised authentication • secure communication • a simple web server in the client • an application client/server connection - use to implement an API in the client - use to ship code from client to server - invoke functionality on the desktop" Steve uses [PAM] on the server. See also: [Virtual Framebuffer] [XO] Is there any chance I can get a copy of this great Klant and give it a try? I have read the paper and the above mentioned Presentation file. Great idea! I've put the source (+ binary libraries for OSX, [Linux] and [Windows]) at [http://www.digitalsmarties.com/pub/klant.tar.gz]. No guarantees it will work on your system - I found variations between the various [VNC] servers. But good luck, and feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions [stevel] ---- [AMG]: Argh, UTF-8 problems again! I pasted in the correct character, found using [[[encoding convertfrom] utf-8]]. It showed up right in Preview, but I got a Bad UTF-8 page when I tried to save, chiding me to please check my browser. I'm using Firefox 3.0.8, set to Unicode (UTF-8). <> Application | Interprocess Communication
