I've updated my Plan 9 VNC viewer to use libdraw -- I'll send you a copy.

Me too, please.  Perhaps Russ would like to post both versions on his
web site?

Not quite -- the host's colourmap is loaded only if
you specify the '-m' option.  Otherwise it uses
rgbv.

The VNC client we have will be in the next update,
which should happen somewhat soon.

If you need a VNC client before then,
bug me or Richard Miller, depending on
which one you want (I think they're the
same on true color displays; on 8-bit
displays, the one we have uses the 
default RGBV map, while I believe Richard's
changes the color map to the second
edition RGB332 map).

A VNC client would also work for my X needs.  Can it be made available ?

We recently put a VNC client together,
and I at least have found it much nicer to use 
than the X server when stuck using X.

[9fans] X11 on 3rd Edition

[David P. Boswell]

Today I built the X11 distribution released for 2nd Edition.  All the client programs
work fine on a remote X server.

What would be involved to update the server Xbr to the new graphics environment ?
