Using VNC with a Macintosh:

System Requirements:

Mac OS 8.1 or later

Installation Steps:

Download VNCThing . It is a  SIT BIN file (if downloading with Internet Explorer and you have StuffIt Expander, it will automagically extract into a directory on your desktop after downloading). If not, drag the file onto the StuffIt Expander icon and it will extract into a folder. This folder will be called VNCThing. Open the folder, and click on VNCThing as shown in this image:

The address for the BIODNA VNC server is biodna.uthscsa.edu. The password will not be released on this page. Please contact Jeremy Mann at the Bioinformatics Core Facility @ 567-2672 for the password.

Upon successfully entry of the password, you will now see a Windows 2000 login window. Use your BIODNA account to login to this system. Here is a screenshot of the login window:
