Indeed, we've dropped support for those command-line options as actually
they were a source of confusion -- there were no strict precedence rules
on option parsing, so it was difficult to understand which options will
take effect -- command-line ones, or options from a .vnc files, options
saved in the registry etc.

Yes, saving connections in .vnc files should work fine. Also, TightVNC
Viewer remembers options per each connection so that when you connect to
a host, its options will be loaded automatically.
