I and other people are writing "faux" multi-user applications by storing
the data file on a file server; each "client" opens the file, does its
business, and then closes the file. It's far from optimal, but it works
right now.

I've worked with other multi-user applications that use a similar
strategy, and this simple scheme with Valentina outperforms that of some
other commercial applications.
