UltraVNC
« on: May 07, 2026, 03:34:05 pm »
A friend of the maintainer of UltraVNC, Neustradamus, contacted me about making an OS/2 port of UltraVNC. It seems that they want to branch out from Windows-only. They apparently have started ports to a lot of platforms.

The code is apparently in github. Here are some links he provided for current ports:
Several announcements have been done by UltraVNC Team to have help for different OS (source: forum): https://forum.uvnc.com/

- *Solaris support: https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=38167 / https://github.com/ultravnc/UltraVNC/issues/350


I pointed out that we have already a good port of VNC on Hobbes OS/2 Archive, and he helpfully gave these VNC related corrections.
