The best upgrade to 5.0.2 is to run the 5.0.2 Installer scripts and install it. (Since 5.0.1 was never released, I'm not going to waste my time trying to figure out which of the 5.0.2 bug fixes were not in 5.0.1.) I don't know specifically why The AppleShare FST requires AFP 2.0. I assume that there is a good reason (you can assume whatever you want). I don't even know how AFP 2.0 differs from previous versions--do you? >ATTN MATT, DAVE: I have a list of bug/quirk reports about the 5.0.1 finder, >system, and installer.

The Finder did not change between 5.0 and 5.0.2, and I don't think the Installer did, either. If some of the problems were fixed in 5.0.2, it'll be simple enough to say to. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

(This is the program that lets the Mac run a a non-dedicated AFP Server) and I got the message "The Server you want uses an incompatible version of AFP, You cannot connect to it" when I tried to log on from the AppleShare CDEV in the Control Panel. The PSN Server Shows up and you can select it, but when you click OK you get the message above. I have a call in to IPT to see if there is a fix. The packing slip says that it is version 1.3 of the pro- gram. It is entirely possible that I'm doing something wrong. After I talk to their tech support I'll post a followup message. Rick Fincher
