In this week's MacWeek magazine, I read an article that TOPS has problems on
high-speed networks, such as Ethernet. Apparently, it has some syncronization
and timing problems on such networks. This problem arises mailing when sharing
large files across the network, say from a shared database application (in
their example, they used Omnis-3 or something like that). The databases can
become corrupted under certain circumstances.
Does anyone know what causes this? Is this also possible when using Ethernet
and smaller files? Just curious. I don't want to recommend something that
doesn't work (although "they are working on the problem").
