Short version: NCD is absolutely continuing to sell X Windows
connectivity products for both WinFrame and MetaFrame.

Longer version:

The 10-Q passage in question refers to the original OEM
agreement that NCD and Citrix signed several years ago. This
was for the NT 3.51-based Citrix WinFrame 1.x product, which we
incorporated into our WinCenter Pro product. We have since
signed a variety of other replacement agreements with Citrix.

In shifting from doing direct sales to going through reseller
channels (announced June 1, 1998), we are migrating from a
completely-bundled product (WinCenter Pro) to a layered one
(WinCenter Connect) that loads on top of a separately-purchased
WinFrame.

Similarly for the NT 4.0-based product, we are selling a
layered product called WinCenter for MetaFrame (announced June
16, 1998). As with WinCenter Connect, this product loads on top
of separately-purchased copies of the underlying Citrix
MetaFrame software.

This approach enables end customers to purchase WinCenter
Connect and WinFrame, as well as WinCenter for MetaFrame and
MetaFrame, from the same resellers. The result is a better
overall solution for the customer and an even stronger working
relationship for two of the longest allies in the thin client
market: NCD and Citrix.
