[comp.protocols.appletalk] HyperCard & AppleShare 2.02 Problems

youngb@topaz.ucq.edu.au (04/23/91)

We have a network of Apple Mac Pluses running on an SE/30 running AppleShare
2.02, being used for Health Science students.  The software they are running
has been developed using HyperCard 1.2.5.

Our original network setup was runnig these hypercard stacks on a DIGICARD
Shared Resource Controller, and would allow us to use a single copy of
HyperCard from this one network volume without any problems.

The problem now encountered is that since changing over to AppleShare, we can
only run one copy of the application by any one user at a time.  If 2 or more
users try to run  HyperCard, we get a message saying that the application is
busy.

If anyone has had any similar problems or solutions, could they please reply by
NEWS or E-Mail.

We have also tried HyperCard 2.0v2 with the same results.

Many thanks in advance.

You need to mark the application as sharable.  This can be done with
several utilities e.g. Disktop, SUM.  The stacks may need to be readonly
also.

Email me if you have any further problems.
