[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Hypercard Searching Question

vogt@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Michael Vogt) (05/05/90)

Hi,

What would the overhead be on the following scenerio?  I would like to have
a dozen macs use hypercard to access a read only stack.  The stack would
be located on a VAX, so I would be using Ethertalk to connect the vax and
the macs.  What I am really wondering is how the find command would work
in this environment?  Would it generate enormous amounts of overhead on
the network?  What is the volume of the disk access when doing a find?
If this is too vague please let me know and I will clarify.

Thanks
-Mike

P.S.  The stack size is quite large (>80 meg).
