Greetings from Yokohama, Japan.
I have released a new version (beta 0.07) of VNC viewer for
OS/2 PM.
This is a new beta version (beta 0.07) of PM VNC viewer. I
added some requested features and fixed some problems.
New Features:
Appended '-passwd password-file' option. If VNC viewer can
access password file of the VNC server, this option
specifies the use of the password from given file, not from
password dialog. If you use this viewer with Xvnc server
for OS/2, this option gives no passwd dailog to connect to local Xvnc server.
Appended '-keymap keymap-file' option. Keymap-file defines
maps between scan key code and VNC's key code (X's
keysymdef). With this mapping, you can send different key
code for Right/Left Shift/Control keys, or keypad keys
usually not distinguished. Also, you can send NLS keys
with this mapping.
Fixes:
When keyboard focus changed, VNC viewer adjusts Shift,
Ctrl, Alt state to current state. This fixes a problem
CTRL stay pressed when CTRL-ESC to change active window.
But this fix sends another key event to the remote desktop,
and this may cause problems on some remote applications.
Also there is a problem on mouse button release. If you
hold down a mouse button and release it outside window,
then no mouse release was send to remote desktop, and
remote application think mouse button is still pressed.
Now the viewer captures mouse on button down and watches
button release.
You can get VNC viewer for PM under my OS/2 tools page

or directly,

VNC is a system to access remote desktops from a local
machine. It consists of a remote server and a local viewer
(client). This release is the viewer for OS/2 PM. For more
