Dar,

There is one issue of which I am aware and for which I have no a 
satisfactory solution:

	sharing library handlers that manipulate declared local variables.

Ideally, one could place a library stack on a network and have its 
resources available to every Revolution standalone running on the 
network.  This will not work for SDB client standalones, because SDB 
handlers in the library stack expect the values in the library's 
declared local variables to persist between calls.

To this point I've just shrugged it off with "OK, each SDB client 
standalone will have to have its own library stack."  However a 
solution to this issue would be really slick: imagine updating the 
operation of every Revolution standalone on every workstation on the 
network by changing a single handler & resource library stack on one 
workstation!
