Is there a version of VNC that can display the entire remote screen in
reduced size, so you can load up your screen with an array of remote
screens?

I believe all versions have the ability to scale the screen. Real and
TightVNC scale by "fraction" (i.e. 1/4, 1/2, or 7/8) ... UltraVNC can scale
by percentage or fraction.

Click to expand...

Thanks. I knew I had seen it. But I took another look at the viewer in
action and I still don't see the option, then I googled and found this:

So they actually dropped the feature! The problem then is that I'm always
using the "real" thing, but now I'll try Ultra.

Seems strange that they dropped it. Honestly, I haven't used RealVNC
since v3.3.6 ... which is when I discovered UltraVNC. File transfers,
encryption via plugin, and MS Logon authentication ... and still free! ;-)
