    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 :>
