vnc

lol. in google gemini's world, vnc has been ported to win16 (in fact isn't):

Real-World Examples: It Already Exists
You don't even have to write one from scratch if you just want to use one. Retro-computing enthusiasts have created working 16-bit VNC clients:

VNCHooks / Win16 VNC Viewer: There are early 16-bit ports of the original AT&T VNC viewer source code floating around old software archives (like Aminet or old SourceForge repositories) explicitly compiled for Windows 3.x.

RealVNC 3.3.3 r2 (Win16): Back in the late 1990s, the developers of VNC officially maintained a 16-bit Windows version alongside the 32-bit Windows 95/NT version.

trying to vibe with gemini to port dosvnc-0.4 to win32(s). current status: auth success but client either silent crashes or quits when processing copyrect. repo: https://github.com/roytam1/vncsclnt

TIL: NT 3.50 doesn't like WNDCLASSEX and RegisterClassEx, using them for window creation will just fail. now my VNC333r9 server works in NT 3.50. #retrocomputing #retroprogramming #VNC
