[nfbcs] Citrix question

[Wunder, Gary]

I believe yes to all except that you need not be using the same versions of JAWS in every case.

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?
