How hard would it be to stick a program bet= ween a single sam -R and
several samterms? I imagine such a program would have to interpret the
sam protocol and handle merges and simultaneous updates, but since sam
essentially treats files operations as database transactions, it seems
like sam's protocol could be very helpful. The possibilities for what such an intermediary program could do are probably limitless, but I
was thinking it could make collaborative editing via sam a
possibility.

I don't know enough about sam's protocol to know if such an idea wo= uld work.
