Hi Pietro,
the problem of having a single and independent process dedicated to the job
of server is that the server would not be able to rise a minimized/hidden
window as consequence of the situation "a new file open starts (user double
click) unaware that the same file is already opened".
Best regards,
Giuseppe.
