I think so; at least I don't know how to do it. I've heard it may be
possible using Windows 2000 TS and their Advanced Client.

Shouldn't be - I have the infrastructure in place (the logon info packet
in rdp.c); I just need to figure out what flags etc to use.

No.

C (or C++) is the language of choice on UNIX platforms, which is what
I was primarily writing for. Almost everyone has a C compiler, whereas
not everyone has Java, and certainly not the same version or installed
the same way, so problems can occur. Also, I wanted it to be small and
fast, whereas Java is still pretty slow.
