WinVNC The WinVNC VNC server will allow you to view your Windows desktop from any VNC viewer. Currently, Windows only supports a single graphical user being logged in at any one time. WinVNC makes the existing desktop of the PC available remotely, rather than creating a separate desktop as happens with the Unix server. VNC does not make an NT machine into a multi-user server as, for example, Citrix-based software does. A single NT machine can, therefore, be accessed by multiple users, but if they all connect at the same time they will all see the same desktop!

Download WinVNC version 3.3.3. 

WinZip 8.0

WinZip brings the convenience of Windows to the use of zip - and other compression format - files. The optional wizard interface makes zipping and unzipping easier than ever. WinZip features built-in support for CAB files and for popular Internet file formats such as TAR, gzip, UUencode, BinHex, and MIME. ARJ, LZH, and ARC files are supported via external programs. WinZip interfaces to most virus scanners.

Download a registered version of WinZip 8.0.
