The Linux version is in there somewhere.

Also available:

Windows packages updated to 3.3.3r2- 20/10/99   <-- Win 9x and NT.
New Unix version 3.3.3- 19/8/99                          <--  could be
interesting.
Quick guide to Using VNC with SSH- 19/7/99
Macintosh software updated to Beta 2- 11/6/99

v3.3.2 were the last vers I used, and those were very cool!
