- As long as Paradox can find its PARADOX.NET file, *in the same directory*
- for each user, it ought to work. In other words, the directory used must
- be mapped to the same drive letter and directory for each user, and all
- users must have RW access to it. Individual PARADOX.CFG files can be in
- different places. You must also be sure (this applies to _any_ network)
- that the user's private directory is unique. If you simply change to the
- data directory and start Paradox, no other user will be able to start in
- that directory (you'll get a "Directory...is the private directory of...")
