Abstract
A system for viewing updates to a data file as they occur over time is provided. The system includes a file access client, such as a software package operating on a general purpose computer, that requests dynamic access to the data file. The system also includes a file access server, such as a software package operating on a general purpose computer. The file access server is connected to the file access client, such as through a network, and transmits the initial contents of the data file to the file access client and any data file modifications that occur over time.
