About TigerVNC
==============

TigerVNC Source Distribution
============================
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to
view and interact with a virtual desktop environment that is running on another
computer on the network. Using VNC, you can run graphical applications on a
remote machine and send only the display from these applications to your local
machine. VNC is platform-independent and supports a wide variety of operating
systems and architectures as both servers and clients.

TigerVNC is a high-speed version of VNC based on the RealVNC 4 and X.org code
bases. TigerVNC started as a next-generation development effort for TightVNC
on Unix and Linux platforms, but it split from its parent project in early 2009
so that TightVNC could focus on Windows platforms. TigerVNC supports a variant
of Tight encoding that is greatly accelerated by the use of the libjpeg-turbo
JPEG codec.

All Platforms
=============

All versions of TigerVNC contain the following programs:

vncviewer - this is the cross-platform TigerVNC Viewer, written using FLTK.
It connects to a VNC server and allows you to interact with the
remote desktop being displayed by the VNC server. The VNC server
can be running on a Windows or a Unix/Linux machine.


Windows-Specific
================

The Windows version of TigerVNC contains the following programs:

winvnc - the TigerVNC Server for Windows. It allows a Windows desktop to be
accessed remotely using a VNC viewer.

The Windows version of TigerVNC should work on Windows 2000 and later. On
Windows XP and later, winvnc may not work if the Fast User Switching or Remote
Desktop features are in use.


Unix/Linux-Specific (not Mac)
=============================

The Unix/Linux version of TigerVNC contains the following programs:

Xvnc - the TigerVNC Server for Unix. Xvnc is both a VNC server and an X
server with a "virtual" framebuffer. You should normally use the
vncserver script to start Xvnc.

vncserver - a wrapper script which makes starting Xvnc more convenient.
vncserver requires Perl.

vncpasswd - a program which allows you to change the VNC password used to
access your VNC server sessions (assuming that VNC authentication
is being used.) The vncserver script will automatically launch
this program if it detects that VNC authentication is in use and
a VNC password has not yet been configured.

vncconfig - a program which is used to configure and control a running
instance of Xvnc.

For instructions on how to build this software on various platforms, see
BUILDING.txt.
x0vncserver - an inefficient VNC server which continuously polls any X
display, allowing it to be controlled via VNC. It is intended
mainly as a demonstration of a simple VNC server.

long-term plans for it to replace TurboVNC in the VirtualGL Project as well.
