GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307,
USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

1. *** Introduction **************************************************

VNC is a great and famous remote controle, multi-OS tool, created at
the ATT Research Labs de Cambridge-http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc

This Ultr@VNC version is based on:
- RealVNC 336 & 337
and includes:
- Most of eSVNC 1.1.2 r2 functionnalities
- Most of Vdacc-VNC functionnalities
- Cursor handling code and Tight encoding from TightVNC
- VNC QuickDesk toolbar code
- And various code modifications coming from talented developpers.

- Since v1.0.0 RC 12, Ultr@VNC FileTransfer can transfer whole Directories.
For this it uses "zip32.dll" and "unzip32.dll" dll files and source code
coming from the Info-Zip group. Please see at the end of this
document (section 7.) for details about these dlls.

- Since v1.0.0 RC 12, the viewer Toolbar looks professionnal, thanks to
Lim Chee Aun (http://www.phoenity.com/) who has designed it.

Ultr@VNC brings tons of functionnalities and high performances even
over modem connections.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks to all people who help us developping, testing, stabilizing,
answering users questions and animating the mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. *** Features *****************************************************

* Supported Operating Systems: Win9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003

* Auto configuration and Quick Options for easy connections.

* Viewer Toolbar for a quick access to the main functions and greatly
improved ergonomy.

* High Speed. A cutting-edge Video Hook Driver (kernel mode) for Win2000
and XP dramatically improves performances and reduces CPU activity.
Over a LAN, this lets you work on a remote computer with an incredible
'real-time' feeling (hundreds of screen updates per second).
A WinVNC server under Win9x uses the standard hookdll in combination with
ddi hooking to improve the updates handling. Ultr@VNC also features an
ultra fast Fullscreen Polling mode without additionnal driver.
Whatever the connection speed, Ultr@VNC brings you optimal comfort.

* Embedded File Transfer with intuitive Graphical User Interface allowing
for easy file copy between local and remote computers. It uses the current
VNC connection and files are compressed during their transfer.

* MS Logon/NT security support. You can manage server access using MS Users,
Domains and Groups. It also includes a logging feature where all actions are
written to a log file.

* Bandwidth Saving Strategies that provide optimal responsiveness over slow
connections: Server Screen Scaling, Cache Management , Local Cursor handling.

* Data Stream Modification Plugin System allowing any kind of operation on the
data exchanged between client and server, from an external DLL (independant,
not linked and not distributed with Ultr@VNC): additionnal rights checking,
communication timing, data recording/persitence, encryption...
it's up to the DLL developper.

* Optionnal "always-on-top" Viewer Status Window dynamically displaying
connection informations.

* Various View Modes including Full-Screen, Scaled and Windowed. Full-Screen
mode lets you see the remote screen on the entire screen of your display.
Scaled Viewer mode lets you see the scaled remote screen in a window with a
user defined size. Scaled Server mode generates less network traffic from
server side and use a pixel blending algorithm to optimize the display.
Fuzzy Mode combines Server and Viewer scaling to provide reasonable visual
comfort and speed even over very slow connections.
The Autoscaling mode scales the view so it fits the viewer screen.

* Dynamic Single Window/Full Desktop view switching, from viewer side.
* Server's Desktop resolution switching without disconnection.
* Dynamic Mouse and Keyboard locking on remote server, from viewer side.
* Server Screen Blanking, from viewer side

* Embedded Client/Server Text Chat.

* Possibility to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote server
(when WinVNC is run as a service), or any other special key.

* Support for 32/24/16/8 bits colors.
Both Ultr@VNC Viewer and Server are compatible with RealVNC, TightVNC, eSVNC,
PalmVNC2 (with server scaling feature)...
Ultr@VNC server can work as a Service under all supported operating systems,
allowing remote user Logon/Logoff as well as Remote Shutdown.

* Connectivity: Standard Viewer and HTTP JavaViewer connections over TCP/IP,
as well as XDMCP direct X11 connection (still experimental).

- TextChat & FileTransfer windows can be redisplayed on the foreground
when masked in Fullscreen mode by clicking on their corresponding buttons.
- FileTransfer GUI double-click bug fixed

- UltraVNC icon slightly changed
- Toolbar tooltips now appear faster

- Viewer "notoolbar" command line option replaces the stupid "showtoolbar"
option...
- WinVNC "connect" option fixed (works with host, host:display and host::port)
- Fixed "quickoption" command line option bug in vncviewer

- Added "Log Infos" and "Allow Loopback" options in WinVNC Property page.

- UltraVNC is now compatible with PalmVNC2.0 even at the server screen
scaling level.

- Fixed Viewer crash when aborting connection
- Remove Wallpaper after disconnection bug fixed
- NTML mechanism now checks Local and Remote for Group and Password.
- Fixed a bug with changes detection in WINVNC under W2K/WP: when the
"Video Hook Driver" option was checked and the Video Driver was not
actually available (not installed for instance...) then the default
"System HookDll" was not loaded (even if the option was checked).
The result was missing screen updates, especially with checkboxes,
low accuracy and low speed. The workaround was to uncheck the
"Video Hook Driver" option.

- DSMplugin action now starts BEFORE the RFB protocole handshaking
(-> 1.07 Viewer/Server DSM compatibility with 1.06 is broken
but existing Plugins remain compatible with v1.07)
- Info messages are now displayed when connection fails with DSMPlugin
(Plugins incompatibility, missing etc...)
- DSMPlugin now supports ms_logon method

- Auto switching to default system hooking when 24bit color depth is used
on server (the driver not used in this case)
- 8bit color palette support
- WinVNC keeps the attached-to-desktop bit to 1 until VNC unloads the
driver -> No more crashes when an application changes the display
(ex: pinball). No more risk that color depth or screen resolution
switching crash the server.

** RC 1.08 (v1 Release Candidate 08)

- The last major memory leak has been fixed in WinVNC

- WinVNC occasionnal crash under NT4 during initial screen loading has been fixed

- The CTRL,ALT,SHIFT keys locking bug has hopefully been fixed

- The Viewer's authentication window has been renamed "VNC Authentication" instead
of " Ultr@VNC Authentication" : now Ult@VNC Viewer is compatible again with
the VNC-Quickdesk password transmission method...

- Some additionnal tests have been added to prevent possible crashes:
- "ms-logon + no domain + WinVNC under win 9.x" case
- OS Version is better checked when Video Driver is required by user

- Fixed the scaling factors corruption problem when using "AUTO" quickoption in
the viewer.

- The DSM Plugins know their loader : vncviewer or WinVNC (application
or service). It should be now more easy for plugins writters to save their plugins
configuration at the good location in the registry, for instance.
TestPlugin example source code has been updated consequently.

** RC 1.09 (v1 Release Candidate 09)

- NT4 8bit crash fix
- 24bit driver mode crash fix

displayed in the viewer's menu.
(All are CTRL+ALT+Fxx keys)

- Added AutoScaling : now the viewer window can be
auto scaled/stretched so the server's screen is
entirely visible (no scrollbars). The option is
available along Quick options.

- Viewer Scaling factors is now percentage in the
Options window. More clear for users.

- Hopefully fixed the screen refresh locking after a
FileTransfer occasionnal bug.

- Simplified Viewer TitleBar display (removed "VNC
Viewer". Was useless and now we can directly see
the hostname in the task bar).

- Added hostname in the FileTransfer window Title bar.

- Hopefully fixed the scaling crash that occurs in
all others VNC distributions due to the StretchBlt()
function + hardware acceleration.
Visual quality remains equivalent when scaled.

- Added a 30s delay between 2 encoding changes when
using Auto mode. It should prevent some problems
over slow connections...

- Added ".vnc" load button in the "Connection" Dialog

** RC 1.10 (v1 Release Candidate 10)

- Added secure memcopy/memcmp to prevent server crash

- NT4 video driver does not exist..so put it always false

- NewSWsize could cause problems, needed to be send from client thread
enablecache could cause delete cache to give memory error, fixed

- Prevented Chat to send messages during transfer of a file
- FileTransfer now handles Directory Transfer (using zip32.dll & unzip32.dll)
- Ultra Encoder bug fix
- New Video Hook driver
- Local cursor support for Driver and Hookdll
- Video Driver now uses events to notify the server for changes, no more timer
- Auto full scan on idle time
- Added several locks for memory protection while driver
is disabled/enabled (resolution/logon)
- Too many little updates (driver). If more than 50 rects, combine regions.

* Viewer

- FileTransfer now handles Directory Transfer (using zip32.dll & unzip32.dll)
- Chat window can be minimized (allowing screen updates) and restored

of sync. This code tries to find new updates in network data and resync the viewer.
- A listening viewer using a DSMPlugin can now handle several connections with different servers without connection drops.

** v1.0.0 - RC 13 : never saw the light of day. 'wonder why... ;)

** v1.0.0 - RC 14 (v1 Release Candidate 14)

* Server

- Memory leaks, resources leaks, array bounding, bug fixes, desktop thread fixes
- ms logon: Correction for global groups in local group detection + a lot of
others changes to take the max. use cases into account...
- FileTransfer is now forbidden when Viewers are forced to be "ViewOnly"
- FileTransfer bug fix (possible infinite loop during copy loop)
- Properties dialog tweaked
- Removed the "Home page" and "Online help" shortcuts in the WinVNC traymenu
(that were launching some IExplorer processes) until we find a better solution.
- MS groups can be customized via options
- Hookdll is loaded dynamic , dll does not longer need to exist to start winvnc

* Viewer

- Server Inputs/Screen-blanking bugfix
- Proxy support (via the "VNC repeater" external program)
- FileTransfer: selection bar now takes full list's window width
- Several Listening viewers can now be run on the same machine using
different ports numbers.
- Pressing ALT or CTRL send ALT/CTRL directly to the VNCServer, as if the user selected "CTRL
DOWN/CTRL UP/ALT DOWN/ALT UP" from the system menu.
When turning the SCROLL-LOCK on, the following things happen:
Pressing ALT+TAB DOES NOT switch applications on the client side. Instead, ALT+TAB is sent to
the VNCServer.
Pressing CTRL+ESC DOES NOT open the start menu on the client side. Instead, CTRL+ESC is sent to
the VNCServer.
Pressing ALT+SPACE DOES NOT open the system menu on the client side. Instead, ALT+SPACE is sent
to the VNCServer.
Pressing Break/Pause key toggles Full-Screen mode on or off.
Pressing PRINT-Screen key requests a full screen update (same as selecting "Request Screen
Refresh" from the system menu)
All the above can be disabled by turning the SCROLL-LOCK key off.

7. Details

* How does Ultr@VNC use Info-Zip

Ultra WinVNC and vncviewer both use 2 dlls for Directory Transfer:

* Zip32.dll
It is the original Info-Zip Zip 2.3 version (without encryption) that
can be found on the Info-Zip sites, as well as its source code:
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip

* Unzip32.dll
Has been compiled using the portable unzip550 source code that can be
found on the Info-Zip sites:
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip
THE ONLY thing that was modified is that the "crypt.c" and "crypt.h"
files have been replaced with the dummy (null) ones coming from the
Zip 2.3 sources. So this unzip32.dll IS NOT the original Info-Zip
"unzip32.dll" and does not contain any encryption/decryption code or binary.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For any bug/pb regarding the use of these dlls by Ultr@VNC (Directory
Transfer), please only send mails to Ultr@VNC team (http://ultravnc.sf.net)

function + hardware acceleration.
Visual quality remains equivalent when scaled.
