We've just installed a Novell server as an office productivity aid.  One of the main uses we're looking at is document management.  I'd like to find any        commercial, shareware, or public domain packages that provide document
library management.  By this I mean tracking author and date, providing an 
index with subject or keyword info, and most importantly managing document	
check in and check out (so two folks to accidently modify the same document
concurrently, etc.).  To me this seems like a fairly common need, but I 
haven't run across too much in this area.

Something Windows based would be icing on the cake.  I'd also be interested
in non-Novell offerings, say for a Sun system or even VM/CMS or TSO (sorry).
And we've already got IBM PROFS, but that's unacceptable for workstation
based document management. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Normally I don't post from this mail address, so please send your
your responses to the list.  I'm fairly sure there won't been too many.
