One of our "old-timers" is also an excellent packrat, and sent me the

Load both programs on two different PC's both on the same network. On
the charting PC go into the system.ini and remap the server from C:
or D: to whatever drive is on whatever PC on the network. I
personally prefer to delete the server completely on the Charting PC,
because by accident you can start up the server on the Charting PC by
mistake and thats not good. Remember to start up the server on the
Server PC first else Charting on the Charting PC wont start. TS
thinks both computers are as one. I'm sure that there are some
details I'm leaving out, but thats the overall concept. If you can
fill in the blanks then you better leave it alone. I have found each
installation of this different in some way or another. But with some
determination it can be done and works very well. This set up will
still only allow one Charting PC to run on the server at a time. You
may however shut down one and run another, good idea if mission
critical.

This can be either slow or super fast, much faster than on a single
PC.. MB
ps if you have the extra pcs and you want to try this, i learned by
running server and then deleteing the entire omega directory while it
was running, that left only the server files that were needed to run
the server. then i run charting and the server and deleted all the
files while running, this left me with the bare bones files. you can
leave all the files on both pcs though.
