VNC for EPOC ------------ This SIS file has been produced from a slightly modified version of the publicly available Java VNC client. It installs directly to the apps folder, and all functionality is accessible from the VNC interface. Version 4 adds: - support for the Sony Ericsson P800 - Removed button bar. All items are now available from the menu - Altered the way the memory allocation occurs. It should now be possible to connect to servers with high screen resolutions as long as raw encoding is NOT used. (Default is hextile anyway) - Added an interface to add/mod/del saved host entries - Saved host entries now save password information as well - cawt.jar file now included in the nokia installation - 'Scratch pad' available on the P800. This enables text entry via hand writing recognition. To activate, push the smart button on the p800 forwards or backwards. The scratch pad will appear. Write your text, press ok and it will be copied to the VNC server at the current cursor position. Version 3 adds: - Change to the way the buttons are used on the R6 version (Nokia) which makes it more usable - Status pane is turned off on R6 by default to give a larger screen area - The button are can be hidden before connecting, in the options screen - The saved hosts pull down list has been modified, and now reads from the vnchosts.txt file as before, but also writes to this file when any new host is used,- so it builds up a hosts list for you. - Every effort has been made to make the screen size as large as possible given the restrictions of java programming on the nokia. Version 2 adds: - Removed the port field - the host field now requires an entry of : - Any port under 10 is considered to be a VNC display number, (and thus has 5900 added to it to produce the real IP port) Any port over 10 is treated as a real IP port number - Added a saved hosts list. These reside in the file \System\Apps\Vnc\vnchosts.txt and should be : one per line. This file must be manually edited, it is not automatically updated - Scroll bars have been added, which means that the CTRL-SPACE sequence should not be needed. This option can be turned off in the options page, but this causes problems on R6 as you then can't move around the full screen. - EPOC R6 is supported, unfortunately with a different SIS file. This adds functionality for the R6 menus and programmable keys Latest version has been tested on a Psion Netbook, the Nokia 9210 and the Sony Ericsson p800 Previous version has been reported as working on the Revo, 5mx and Series 7. It also works sucessfully on the psion emulator, as supplied with the SDK. Remember though, it is a Java application and therefore requires the Java Virtual Machine to be loaded onto the machine. This comes pre-installed on some models, not others. The error message obtained when running VNC without the JVM is something like 'information not found' FILES IN KIT ------------ vnc-psion.sis For psions! (EPOC R5) vnc-nokia.sis For Nokia! (EPOC R6) vnc-p800.sis For P800! (EPOC R7) redirect-nokia.sis Application for use on Nokia for troubleshooting redirect-p800.sis Application for use on P800 for troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING ---------------- 1. If you are using a Nokia or P800, try using the redirect application to direct java output to a file. This will give a reason for the failure 2. If you are using a Psion, java output will log to \logs\java\java.txt. This file will contain a reason for the failure 3. Send me an e-mail! FAQ --- I have had questions about the port field - basically, the port is the tcp/ip port that the vnc server is listening on. Vnc calls this a 'display number'. Vnc display number 0 is tcp/ip port 5900, vnc display number 1 is tcp/ip port 5901 etc. The port field needs the tcp/ip port, NOT the vnc display number. It is done this way because we frequently run VNC on non standard ports, and so use tcp/ip numbering in preference to vnc numbering. The default port used by the standard vnc server installation is 5900 - so use this number unless you have changed the server configuration in any way.

The only details I would like is what psion you are using, and your e-mail address. I will *NOT* be using these details for anything other than letting you know of version changes, and a knowledge of what you are using allows me to verify that updates work on all platforms.
