Through my MAC I have access to PC file server over Appleshare.
Question: Would SOFTPC be able to execute software stored on a PC file
server, or does it have to be on a SOFTPC disk? Also, I am interested in
current prices and a place where SOFTPC can be bought. Since I am not
reading news often, please respond to:

SoftPC allows you to define an E: drive which can be any desktop-mounted Mac volume (or a directory/folder on that volume). This can be a real disk, or an AppleShare server volume (or equivalent). From DOS, E: looks like a DOSinized :-> version of the real Mac directory. If it is really a DOS volume, it just gets un-Macinized (this is getting fun!). The Mac files are readable, and PC programs that happen to reside there act just like they're on a PC volume. You can execute them or whatever. -Dave (Macinized at first sight) Wells -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dave Wells, Apple Computer, Inc.
