Q VNC server

This is a Q implementation of a vnc server. It uses a thin java gateway to "peel" the q headers on/off of the socket connection bewteen q and the vnc client. Absolutely all rendering happens in Q including masking of fonts and drawing the pointer. Pieces of images are proxied through to the vnc client while events from the client are sent to and handled by Q.

install the free version of Q from kx systems

install RealVNC client for your platform

unzip these contents into a directory ~/vnc or c:\vnc is good

on windows run

kdbvnc.bat

on linux/OSX

q vnc.q -p 5001
java -classpath vnc.jar vnc.KDBVNC

run the vnc client, setting the server value to "localhost"
