[WriteLog] Networking Writelog for FD

[Barry Kutner]

Joe,
Once you configure your log file on the first computer, Save it, then 
bring up that file, across the network, on each of the other 
computers. Before you do anything else, do a Save As, and save 
that log file on the hard drive of each local machine. When you run 
WL as a multi, each computer does require a copy of WL and will 
save the log to its own, local, hard drive. In the event a computer 
goes down, or you lose part of the network, during operation, when 
it comes back up, it will resurrect a complete log from the other 
networked computers.
