Hi all,
There was some discussion in '99/'00 about having Squeak natively speak VNC.
I just tried out Squeak talking to a Linux Xvnc server, with a client on a 
slow handheld over the network.

I found that there is about a 1.5 to 2 second delay between typing a 
character and seeing it on the display, which is obviously unacceptable for 
normal uses.
I don't know what I could do to speed this up, or to reduce memory. So having 
Squeak speak VNC directly is promising.

I know that Adam Feuer and Stephen Pair both did some work on this, as well 
as Bert Freudenberg.

Is there any interest in doing this collaboratively?

I looked at the Xvnc code, and there's way too much there. My feeling was 
that it would be easier and cleaner to start from the protocol documentation 
and do a clean port, using the Xvnc code as a reference only when and if 
necessary.
