You see ?  This is what makes this industry so interesting.  I didn't know
there had ever been anything done with the reverse engineered RDP.  I shall
certainly be checking this out.

As for the Citrix client, well, we haven't had any problems so far.

Thanks for the heads up,
Stuart.

This is also so not true. Ica works with *some* products, but has the
obnoxious behaviour of totally freezing the client with other products
( like Navision Financials f.ex )
