To set an application to multi-launch on an AppleShare file server, get a copy of ResEdit version LATER than 1.1b3. Do a get info (within ResEdit) on the application, and click the CACHED bit. Earlier versions of ResEdit confuse the CACHED and SHARED bit. This and other related issues are discussed in Macintosh Technical Note #116, "AppleShare-able Applications and the Resource Manager." Please note that this should be done only on a back-up copy of the application you wish to set as multi-launch. Some applications, notably those which write to their own resource forks, will bomb if this bit is set (e.g. SuperPaint 1.1, MS-Works 1.x, Cricket Draw 1.1). A good heuristic is to try launching the app from a folder in which you do not have "Make Changes" privs (i.e. a locked environment). If it will launch, chances are you can set it to be multi-launch.
