In large part because we have systems that currently work that way. I
actually like the idea of having only one writer at a time, but I think
it'll be a hassle to get my users into the habit of doing that.

Pretty much anyone can type at any time. In practice, folks leave
sessions open for a long time, and might have multiple terminals
attached to them from different machines. Maybe worth noting that these
are non-production systems, and there should only be one primary user at
a time. We might get burned, but I haven't had any complaints about it
so far.

Cool, it's good to know that you don't see any major barriers to doing
it. I'm no c coder, but I did peek around in the sources a bit trying
to find any gotchas. I'll see if I can find and remove the checks for
read/write permissions and get it to build :^)
Thanks much for the info,
Brian
