Yes, the GET-xxx.yzzz is there in access, but I believe it only
worked if the account hosting the files had PFA (program/file access)
turned on for that account in the system directory.
(otherwise nobody else could access files from that account without
being logged in).

I think our machine had this group account a000
feature as well, but
my memories have already been proved suspect :-).
The A000 master account being the system library was true for all
versions of TSB (2000A, 2000B, 2000C, 2000C', 2000F, 2000F', 2000E,
and 2000/Access).
However, each OTHER account that ended in 00 being a group library
for that range (ie, B100 being a group library for accounts B101
through B199, etc.) was not in all versions of TSB. I know for sure
it wasn't in 2000A, 2000B, and 2000E. I know for sure that it was in
2000/Access. I am not sure at all about 2000C, C', or 2000F, F'.
Also, at least in 2000/Access, there was an additional mechanism
besides GET-$xxx (system library), GET-*xxx (group library), and
GET-xxx (local catalog)... if correct capabilities were assigned,
you could also do GET-xxx.YZZZ (specify a . and then an account id)
to access files in someone elses account regardless of the group you
were in. This last method I had completely forgotten about, and
references to it in the documentation seem a bit hidden. But it is
there. Someone on the list reminded me of this a while back :)
