- This sounds like a good addition to the FAQ list!
-
- 1. AppleShare 3.0 is the _network server_ software. It includes
- both network & print spoolers, as well as _print server_ software.
-
- 2. The AppleShare Chooser Extension in System 7 allows individual
- Macs to connect to a server or to other Macs on which File Sharing
- is active.
-
- The two are different! AppleShare 3.0 is recommended for network
- setup & administration -- its performance is *MUCH* greater than
- System 7's File Sharing.
-
- Yes, you need both 1 & 2 to use AppleShare 3.0. 3.0 runs on the server
- & the Chooser Extension runs on the clients.
-
- No, if you just want to get a "quick & dirty" network going, you
- don't need AppleShare 3.0. System 7 File Sharing should serve as an
- interim solution.
-
- For a more complete discussion of the relative merits of the two,
- feel free to post on comp.sys.mac.comm (networking Macs in general),
- or comp.protocols.appletalk (in-depth technical discussion of the
- particulars of AppleTalk).
