Omnis 3 Conversion

[Jim Creak]

With SheepShaver … how do you like to a remote datafile?  Or is it just a single user site?

I’ve dabbled a little with SheepShaver, but have not been able to set it up to use ODB, if I could do this I would have some very happy clients :)

Thanks
Jim

It's kinda funny to see that much virtualization and technology going in to support an ancient application, but I suppose it's cheaper than rewriting the thing in something that runs on a modern OS. This was the solution after I ran out of old Macs to replace ones when the hardware went bust.
