distributed data

Hi grasslers!

I want to know if it is possible to distribute GRASS data on different
maschines which are connected in a network.
Or must the GRASS data lay on the directory MAPSET?

thanx in advance
Stephan

We have a machine on the network which anyone can use for creating
locations and mapsets, if they want to. I am on a Sun Workstation when I
start GRASS. I can type in the database, location and mapset path so that
I am using data from and putting data to this other machine on the network.

Or if I want to, I can make the database, location, mapset be in my home
directory. Or anywhere else I have access to.
