We have provided VNC on all the platforms we use here, and it’s difficult to provide binaries for anything we don’t have, and it takes a while to get up to speed on new platforms. Remember that a viewer is available for any platform which runs Java, though the speed may vary quite a bit. But for many platforms it should not be difficult to compile at least the viewer. If anyone tailors the sources for a particular platform we will happily either incorporate the changes in the main source distributions or make the patches available from our site. Information about ports of VNC to several other platforms can be found on the ‘contribs’ page. A Macintosh viewer is now available, and we do plan to provide a server, but we’d rather not commit ourselves to a specific time-frame yet. We have a Windows CE viewer here which we will release soon.
