Hi,

We are using Shareplex (netbase) for 3 years for
shadowing :
        - flat files
        - ksam files
        - image data base
        - allbase data base

beetween two hp 957 k200 with a fddi link without problems.

For such a project you need :
        - good procedures (what to do if ...)
        - an online backup tool (to resynchronize files if problem beetween main
              computer and shadow computer without disturbing users)
        - a good view of all your applications and products running on the hp3000

and everything will work ...

Problems that we have met and which are probably solved in new version :
        - ksam files with large records
        - shadowing of "system" dbefile in allbase (users, views ...)
        - build command for message files
