WELCOME
-------

Welcome to the release of VMware View Open Client e.x.p.

For VMware View partners, official builds of VMware View Client are
available through VMware Partner Engineering. If you don't feel
you can use an official build, perhaps because you are targeting a
processor architecture other than x86 or have functional requirements
that don't fit with our official build, we hope that the open source
release will help you produce a custom client. Whether you are using
an official build, a client derived from the View Open Client sources,
or a client written from scratch, contact Partner Engineering to
certify your product as View compatible.

VMware View Open Client is optimized for thin client devices: the
installed disk footprint is less than two megabytes, it has minimal
RAM requirements, and it has only a few library dependencies.

For more details on the features and capabilities of this client, please
refer to the end user documentation and the administrator's guide, both
of which are available in the installation package.

For system requirements, compilation, installation, and configuration
instructions, known and resolved issues, and troubleshooting tips,
please consult the wiki at the Google Code site for the open-source
project:
