I am using the Novell file server(v2.15) to provide file service for the Macintoshs. I have trouble to make the mac applications shareable on the system. I did set the file to be shareable but it did not fix the problem. When a user start "x" application program, no other user can lauch this "x" program anymore until this user quit the program". The message on the mac said the application is busy. Novell claim their implementation is fully compatiable with the appleshare file services. Is anyone know how to make these stuff work.

The applications must be written to allow them to be executed by multiple users at once. If the code isn't in the applications, changing the shareable bit won't fix the problem. Sorry! --Cy--
