well true and not....

in fact there is 2 things
-the ability to put the screen everywhere else from the "native screen"
(on the machine )
-the MULTIWIN extension (NT become a real multiuser machine)

hydra,winframe,wincenter all uses multiwin; and in order to "put away"
the screen you have 
X -> wincenter
ICA -> metaframe,winframe
RDP -> hydra

there is a citrix SDK (at www.citrix.com) and personnaly i ve written a
perl-win32 extension on
ftp://ftp.ipbs.fr/pub/perl/ wich is for administration of hydra machine.

By the way just some questions:

-will there be a port of vncserver for mac 68K?
-is there a way to make a "listener" for vnc? (i want to write a perl-tk
app that show a listbox with all the machine having vncserver running :
what are the port an "protocol" used ?)

many thanks in advance
