ok i am editing this post because i just finished compiling a MAJOR update to qbVNC client for DOS that I am very very happy with.
I get no more lockups or errors. The only time it didnt work for me was when I tried it on a 286 5 MHz... i think it was just too slow to allow my program to process incoming data in time, so when TCPDRV's buffer filled up the machine just crapped out and locked up. It works on my 386.
I'm thinking about adding an option use XMS/EMS or a swap file to store waiting data to solve this problem. (yea i know a swap file would suck on old computers, but for some that could be the only option)
I've finished CoRRE decoding routines which runs about 5 times faster than raw, like I was using before.
Also, the README.TXT is much much better and is over 4 KB now heh. okay, here it is then... i'm attaching the ZIP file. mbbrutman you should check out the CoRRE decoding, you'll see what I mean about it being faster. It still kinda sucks on a 386, but it's useable.
btw, i've already begun work on VESA routines and they'll be in the next release whenever that is, along with DES encryption routines so that you can finally connect to password-protected servers.
