	Yes, HyperCard can be run multi-launch off a network.  Using
AppleShare, first install HyperCard and ensure that the users don't have
the Make Changes privs.  Then, run ResEdit, select the HyperCard application,
and make sure the "Shared" bit is checked.  (In earlier versions of ResEdit,
check the "Cached" bit and not the "Shared" bit.)

	HyperCard will then run multi-launch.  It will be a little slower,
of course, as it will be running from a file server and not a local hard
drive, but the actual speed differential will depend on you network.  Also,
users won't be able to make any changes to the stacks (unless you put them
in different folders than the application.)
