 Description: TkVNC is a VNC  viewer written in pure Tcl/Tk. It does not yet
              support authentication, so it can only connect to an
              unsecured VNC server. However, all the original
              "classic" encodings are supported. It was written to be 
              embedded inside another application, however the version here
              is a standalone program. In 539 lines, it may be the
              shortest VNC viewer written.
              Currently at version 0.9

TkVNC is now part of [Tcllib]. It can also be downloaded from sourceforge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib/] via cvs, or (as it is a single file) from the cvs browser [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tcllib/tclapps/apps/tkvnc/].

[AK]:
Given the recent complaints about willy-nilly placing things into [tcllib], I would like to
state that this action was done in consent with the author of TkVNC.

[Jochen Loewer]:
Did the [DES in Tcl], so that now TkVNC supports normal VNC authentication as well.

19jan03 [jcw] - Could you put back the "package require Tk", please?  It is needed for tclkit, which is a tclsh and only becomes a wish after Tk gets asked for.  I used the [DES in Tcl] mentioned on that page, but get an error:
    DES operates only on blocks of 8 bytes, but got 12 bytes!
(The bizarre part is that sometimes it complains about 13, not 12!)

Could this be a binary mode channel issue, or encodings? (client is macosx, sys encoding is utf-8, host is linux - different byte-order btw)

19jan03[Jochen Loewer]: "package require Tk" is in again -- fixes in des.tcl as well. Actually I wanted to right and use 'string bytelength' instead of 'string length' to check block length (8 bytes), but 'string length' seem to work OK, if data comes from a '-translation binary' channel.
