Updated VNC Viewer For The Pocket PC

If you run the VNC service on your PC, there is a new VNC client for your Pocket PC.
They have added the ability to send a right-click (tap and hold) to the server and specify a port number. I had trouble with the right-click functionality though, but I need to see how old my VNC server software is. It worked fine on the Windows 2000 desktop but in Excel, the menu would disappear as soon as I lifted the stylus. I also didn't see a menu option to refresh the display, something I find myself using quite a bit on the desktop client. In the few minutes I played with it though I didn't need to refresh on a relatively speedy 10mb connection.
The price is free. Through this weekend only, you can get two for the price of one. There is no installer. It is just a simple .exe you can copy to your device. To uninstall, just delete the .exe and manually remove the section of the registry that remembers the server names you have put in. There are versions for all Pocket PC types and even the SHx/MIPS processors for some of the 2000 devices.
