Reading the subject header you might have thought I'd discovered something, but alas I have to ask for help with a problem. We have a stack here that, ideally, should have multi-user access (read and write). Since this is not by any way, shape, or form directly possible in hyperCard, I was wondering if anyone has been able to fake this type of operation. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe Melvin

This gets around the multi-user problem, because only the user at the local node is known to have the document open for modification, but the data in Appletalk packets are providing editing commands from other users Dan Dlugose UNC Educational Computing Service dlugose@uncecs.edu
