- Why don't you use the Application Manager added in CAP patch number 61. There
- is also a feature flag to set in m4.features at Configure time. See the README
- file in cap60/contrib/AppManager for details. Following is an extract ...
-
- The Application Manager uses a new argument to aufs:
-
- aufs -A <listname>
-
- The file <listname> contains information of the format
-
- /mac/servers/studeApplications/Word 4.0/Word:20P
-
- which limits Word to 20 simultaneous uses. The file cannot be Finder copied
