Written information would be stored on a local QXL.WIN on the user's drive C: if the need arises.
It's a program to do calculations of volume, weight and checklists to go through for planning purposes. Copies might be printed, but nothing stored. What I envisage is that a small menu driven front end would load master files from, say, WIN8 which happens to be on the server. The user would print to their local printer if needed, or save to WIN1_ on their own hard disk if they really wanted to save something, which wouldn't be an option in the demo version used initially at least. As long as nobody opens a channel to write to it, the QXL.WIN on the server could be used by two copies of QPC2 on different machines? Or did I misunderstand that bit? -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
