Huh!!
It's a bad policy from UNL to force us to use MS.
Just wondering about one thing....for MS we need to install ICA client
from CITRIX in order to run that SCIFINDER.I installed ICA client for
Linux and told Netscape to open x-ica applications using that client(
remember...even in MS x-ica plugins are handled by soem ICA client).But
alas...it did not work.I suppose the ica client do the same work in both
the platform....then who is the killer??
Any more thoughts in thsi regard?
