- Thanks. Great to hear from someone who has actually tried this stuff -
- saves the rest of us a lot of headache! I must admit that the ONLY
- solution I have direct experience with is to use a Novell Netware 386
- server to share a LaserWriter with both Macs and PCs. It works extremely
- well!

- I haven't been keeping up with my reading, but I have a feeling TOPS is
- dead now (didn't see them at Mactivity and haven't received mail from
- Sitka in a long time).
