Reset users list

The user list is maintained in a file with the extension SEM for semaphore.  If the file doesn't exist, it is created automatically when the first user opens the database for reading or writing. After it is created, it always contains a list of the users currently accessing the database.  This list may be viewed by selecting Utilities / Network / Current users, and choosing the correct SEM file. The file name will match your accident database name, except for the SEM extension.

In the event that this list reports erroneous users of the database, it must be reset.  Resetting the SEM file is the same as erasing it.  Resetting (or erasing) this file while a user is accessing the database will eventually cause a crash in the program.  Once all other users have closed IM, (this means DOS and Windows version users) and all diagrams in the current session have been closed, the SEM file may be reset.  This is done by selecting Utilities / Network / Reset user list.  Since this is a potentially dangerous thing to do, the user will be prompted for confirmation several times prior to the actual reset.
