UltraVNC 1.8.0.X - Feedbacks

[Rudi De Vos]

UltraVNC Viewer: 1.8.0.4
UltraVNC Server: < 1.8.x
- Unicode is disabled as UltraVNC Server doesn't support it
- ANSI mode, does not support international chars

This behave the same as a UltraVNC Viewer 1.4.x or 1.6.x
You see ?????? instead of chars and natural ??? isn't find to copy at all.
Normal both sites need to support unicode to make it work.

UltraVNC 1.8.x <-> 1.8.x needs to work, that was the whole goal of all Unicode changes... I will verify this again.
Folder, file names: OK
Copy of files and folders <<<<<<<<< Require verification

Thanks for the feedback.
