Networking CD-ROMs and Winframe

[Deirdre R Becker]

	At our Library we are using the Citrix Winframe system to allow 
remote access to our CD-ROM's, which are mostly electronic medical texts 
with a couple of journal databases.  The users must register (for our 
own records) and download the ica file from our server. This is a plug-in for 
their browser. It is available for Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, but no Mac 
version yet. Also it will not handle multimedia, such as video or sound.
	It is all working fine but we are still testing metering 
software to control the number of simultaneous users. We have tried 
Express Meter, Key Server, and Site Meter, but have not been successful 
in getting these products to work with the browser version. Our Winframe 
system has a maximum capacity of 20 simultaneous users, but this can be 
expanded.
	Our users can get to the CD-ROM's from our Web page
