is moved the document move section 13 on client 1 reads out the
document from external memory 16 and transfers it to the

update section 22 on server 2 to perform update processing by
adding the name of the machine to which the document was
transferred (col. 6, lines 27-49). The user can also request a
record for a particular document ID and the copy relationship can
