[nfbcs] Citrix question

[Tracy Carcione]

Would you care to add to this?  Is it like Remote Desktop, where, I
gather, one has to have Jaws running on both machines, and the same
version of Jaws, at that?

Then the Jaws on your desktop is reading the things to you, because the
Jaws you're logging in from can't read the bitmap images?  Is that the way
of it?
Is it the bitmap images that makes Citrix hard to use?
