Stephen, Dbase III had multi user as standard option as opposed to Dbase II (single user) which could run multi user but only if the files were not modified (Read only).
The only way to run DBASEII "multi user" was using Multi user MPM and Concurrent CPM/86 on an Altos box. When another user added a record the other users could only see it if they closed the file first then re-opened it - not a good "modus operandi" !!!
