[long tale of woe with MacWrite 5.01 on AppleShare deleted]

Here are a few suggestions.  First, make sure that the folder 
which has MacWrite 5.01 is write protected.  This will guarantee
that none of the applications is trying to modify the application
without permission.

Secend, you don't mention what the LocalTalk network is like.  Is
it AppleTalk, or PhoneNet cabling?  What is the length?  What else
is running over the net?

If the length is too long, or the net is too heavily loaded, you can
get timeouts on the AFP packets, which make it look like the application
is damaged.

(As a note, we are running file servers in our public sites, sharing
a single copy of MacWrite 5.01 without a problem (at least specific
to MacWrite).)
