Abstract
A file sharing system using working files is implemented in a computer system having a memory system. The working file is provided by a working file application to various applications in the computer system, via a process that is transparent to the user. The working file application may provide a user interface to allow the user to select applications to execute, and to designate certain files as the working file. The applications may comprise a “suite” of applications for related subject matter.
