Now network and remote users can share CD-ROM-based information simultaneously without actually having a CD-ROM drive on their PCs. The d-Time Office program ($500 for 20 users) stores frequently used CD-ROM information in an "acceleration file" that's stored on your hard disk instead of constantly accessing information from a network CD-ROM drive. In this way, the program allows an entire office to use a single CD-ROM drive via the network. For DOS, Windows, and the Mac, d-Time Office enables you to replace the information stored in your acceleration file as well as increase the acceleration file's size.
