Ok, I'm getting the picture - it appears that you can run multiple instances
of the netview server on the same unix machine; I presume, therefore, that
netview is providing some sort of contention/access control behind the
scenes? That is, if user A makes changes to object 1 at the same time user
B is attempting to delete the very same object, Netview sorts it all out
(locks records somehow?) Or am I perhaps overanalyzing the whole deal, and
should accept on good faith that this multi-user contraption will work?
