Hello!  I'm looking for any leads anyone has on "collaborative work" systems,
with or without X.  What I mean by "collaborative work" is a system which synchronizes the
contents of two windows on seperate workstations.   I'm also *not* talking about something like
xtrek, where it's one program maintaining windows on multiple displays, but rather several
programs looking into a common, active database that notifies the application when the data
changes.  CAD areas would use this facility a lot, I imagine.

Any journal references that might provide a lead would be greatly appreciated.

	Brian
