To thai-linux-foss-devel guys: (in thai) ขออนุญาต fwd patch
เหล่านี้เข้า googlegroups ได้ไหมครับ? ผมหาที่เหมาะๆ ที่จะ upload
patch ไว้ถาวรไม่ได้, เลยคิดว่าถ้ามันอยู่ใน googlegroups, ก็จะเป็นการ
upload ขึ้น web http://groups.google.com/group/thai-linux-foss-devel
ไปในตัว :)
(in english) May I forward these patches into googlegroups? I can't
find appropriate place to permanently upload them. Posting to
googlegroups, will also make them uploaded to the web
http://groups.google.com/group/thai-linux-foss-devel, at the same time
:)

I didn't received any feedback from realvnc team, but got some
feedback from tightvnc team. tightvnc just said, he will review my
patch later.
I'm not sure what's going on at current state, since my email at
sourceforge is not available, and I lost connection with the list,
after a while.

According to the patch attached in this email,
vnc-4.0-unixsrc.unix-socket-attaching.2004-10-17.patch : this is what
I officially post to the list,
vnc-4.0-unixsrc.unix-socket-attaching.2004-11-01.patch : the latest
version that I have developed,
vnc-4.0-unixsrc.unix-socket-attaching.2004-10-{14,13,08}.patch : for
historical reason, if anyone interest :)
I would be glad if someone can make utilization out of my patch.
Could you please, let me know, in what way are you going to apply this patch?
