Now that's an interesting idea...  we'll soon be seeing demacs (the editor
daemon).  Actually I have seen a multiuser editor in a boxed system (a
cable TV channel controller/character generator).  It was page based so more
than one person could edit different pages in the same file.

I wonder if there's any theory for making an editor which is truely
multiprocessed- (I.E. no editor daemon).
