It has to have a server running on the UNIX end as well as a special Mac program. If anybody *really* needs a multi-finder compatible uw, I have a pretty crude home-made one I could probablymail out. As for people whining and casting aspersions because they don't happen to know what some term means, a curteous plea for a definition is usually a lot more likely to get a useful result than just carping is (although the latter seems to have gotten the job done in this case, I guess).
