Just as I thought. It probably works very like the X11 protocol.

Two diskettes doesn't count as "thin client" to me. Fitting both server
AND client on a diskette does (as is currently possible with all VNC
implementations bar Xvnc). Then again, two diskettes is probably an
acceptable size for software with such licence complications (though I'm
glad to hear most of them aren't Citrix-originated).
