I recently heard something weird about AppleShare and the Print Server. There is a 'fgnd' resource in the Print Server, and somehow this allows the program to run concurrently with the file server under Finder. The person who told me about this copied the 'fgnd' resource into the SUM Tools program, and then was able to run it concurrently with the file server (we were trying to trace problems with file allocation on the server). Does anyone know what the 'fgnd' resource is, and how it works? ------- Christopher Tate || "I hate quotations!" -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is simply a flag to the AppleShare server software that indicates the application follows the rules about running as a foreground app. AppleShare will only run apps in the foreground that contain this resource (or that are of type 'fgnd' I believe). I don't remember all the rules but the main one is that foreground apps aren't allowed to create, delete, etc. files on the server (they can do this in the Server Folder, however).
