Abstract
Multi-user applications allow users in difference locations simultane interact with common interface. Creating multi user application in complicated by issue such as process synchronization, replicated window management, floor control and shareable data control. This paper discusses several low-level issues that must be addressed when implementing such a toolkit. We have develop a multi-user application. It has been implemented using a NetWare 3.11 operating system on a Novell network.
