MICROSOFT SEEKS TERMINAL SOLUTION
Microsoft has licensed multi-user technology from Citrix Systems Inc. and
Prologue SA of France that will allow users of terminals connected to
central servers running Windows NT to run most PC programs.  The move is
viewed as Microsoft's response to Oracle's and Sun Microsystems' focus on
network computers -- devices similar to terminals in that they rely on
central servers for most functions, but with more processing power than a
simple terminal.  The multi-user capability will be added to the current
Windows NT 4.0 version, and will be an integral part of 5.0.  (Wall Street
