    Yes FM Pro is multi-user, no it does not require a dedicated server,
nor does it require Appleshare or System seven filesharing. However,
since it is shared-file you are limited by the speed of the host Mac,
and anytime you have more than 4 people working at once, you will slow
down extremely.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Importing data into FM Pro can be
done only with a data file on an accessible drive. This data can be in a
number of formats, but it still requires a file to read from. You can't
write XCMDs for FM Pro, but if you have version 2.0 you can use Apple
events to basically perform the importing if you wanted.
