There is a research sytem (not a product) called Multi-User Line
Editor that was written by Mark Pendergast (mpender@nervm.bitnet)
while a Phd student at University of Arizona - sorry, I couldn't
resist Mark :) :).

I have used this system in teaching GSS to my students and have it
installed in our lab where they can concurrently work on text
documents (i.e. term papers).  It functions fairly well (block
cut&pastes, locking at the line or paragraph level, etc).
