If the application is properly written.  It has to work when it is
opened read only, and any spool files have to be somewhere that the
user has write access and will not conflict with other users.  Apple
recommends the system foler, since that is guaranteed to be on a local
disk.  If this is the case, there is a finder flag that, once
switched, will allow multi-launching.

Cavet: I don't have appleshare and am just parroting what I have read/heard.
