I think I remember reading that IBM PCs (clones) connected to Apple/LocalTalk cannot access the files on a CAP server (assuming that the net is connected to Ethernet via a FastPath box) - there was no client software. Is it possible now that Apple has released PC AppleShare?? Has anyone tried this yet?! Shmuel --- end of message --- We tried this last year with a BETA copy of AppleShare PC. After a discussion with Charlie Kim I found out that AUFS doesn't support "short-names" which are needed by machines with OS's which believe in eight character file names. --Dwight Mckay, ECN Workstation Software Support [arpanet: mckay@ee.ecn.purdue.edu, usenet: ...ihnp4!pur-ee!mckay] [Compu-serve: 75776,1521, office: MSEE 104F, phone: (317) 494-3561]
