Yeah, I have used MULE and it is the most fluid multi-user editor I
have seen (I have used three and seen several others at CSCW.) MULE is
a bit finicky about network configurations and at this point I doubt
Pendergast is supporting it (Mark is out there writing spectacular
multi-user graphics tools tools these days.) But maybe Hayne wouldn't
mind supporting it for you :>
