When the second person tries to use a single launch application he gets the message "That application is busy or damaged." With the multi launch application, any number of people can use the application at the same time (honoring license agreements, of course.) Microsoft software is multi launch. Most other is single. The question: what's the difference? Try as we might to toggle appropriate flags with ResEdit, we cannot turn a single into a multi or a multi into a single launch application. A related request. Connections magazine (9/88) mentions a small program called DoppleMaker (public domain) that serves as a front end to accessing applications on AppleShare, logging application usage and making applications single or multi launch. Does anyone have a copy of this program? We cannot find it. Thanks. Kit Larsen, University of Oregon (Kit@oregon)
