Changes in Server

under MacOS 8.6

and now displays useful information about the

mapping using "Set default preferences" from the

New in Macintosh package 3.3.2beta2
Please see the documentation included in the packages for the latest details.
Changes in Server since Alpha 1.1
All preferences can now be set via a control panel - Web interface vastly
improved. Settings and logs should now work.
Changes in Viewer since Beta 1
Better (?) mouse button emulation mechanism (see included docs) Also, both
programs have undergone quite a lot of internal streamlining.
Source code for both programs is now available. Comments, opinions,
bugfixes and requests are welcomed.
New in Macintosh package 3.3.2alpha1.1
See the documentation for further details.
The server can now use the much faster hextile encoding as well as the
'raw' encoding. This may introduce some reliability problems - if
so you can disable it using the Server Status Tool.
The server does not now run as a 'background only' application.
It no longer generates its own menu and operates more like a conventional
Mac application.
