12/2/2006 3.12.6

Added: Rewrote network functionality in FAM to allow FAM-to-FAM network communication. If computer A is accessing a file on computer B, FAM must now be installed on both computer A and computer B. If computer A is accessing the file on computer B, any program in computer A’s allowed list will be granted access to exclusively opened and locked files on computer B. Only programs in computer A’s allowed list will be able to access exclusively opened and locked files on computer B (from computer A). Local FAM operations remain unchanged.

- Fixed bug where directories would sometimes be opened in exclusive mode
