We find on our AppleShare server that some applications are single launch
and others are multi launch. When the second person tries to use a single
launch application he gets the message "That application is busy or damaged."
With the multi launch application, any number of people can use the application
at the same time (honoring license agreements, of course.) Microsoft software
is multi launch. Most other is single.

The question: what's the difference? Try as we might to toggle appropriate
flags with ResEdit, we cannot turn a single into a multi or a multi into a 
single launch application.

A related request. Connections magazine (9/88) mentions a small program
called DoppleMaker (public domain) that serves as a front end to accessing
applications on AppleShare, logging application usage and making applications
single or multi launch. Does anyone have a copy of this program? We cannot
find it. 

Thanks. Kit Larsen, University of Oregon (Kit@oregon)
