In today's computing world, documents move quite freely between computers, being |
|
|
sent as e-mail attachments, carried around on disks, |
|
|
published on the web, moved between desktop and laptop systems, |
|
|
downloaded for off-line reading or copied between computers in a LAN. |
|
|
Often, the same document will be independently modified |
|
|
on two unconnected systems. We describe |

the partially implemented Storm design, |

|
a storage system designed to cope with two problems |
|
|
raised by moving documents: Dangling links [refs stating problem], |

and keeping track of alternative versions [refs stating problem]. |
