It won't work. You need an X-server, because you are running windows binary
executable, on windows, and the executable tries to draw to an X-server.
So unless you manage to compile VNC server for X-window under windows 95
(using cygwin - maybe you meant this... then everything is all right :-)), 
vnc will not help you
