Here's a strange request: Does anyone know if it will be possible to use AppleShare or the AppleShare PrintServer under A/UX 2.0? We would like to do disk/printer serving, and would prefer to have the machine running under A/UX, so that we can also use the Berkeley line printer software to spool from our Unix boxes. Has anyone tried to compile the cap software without the cap libraries (just use the built-in AppleTalk software)? aufs and lwsrv work pretty well, but we would prefer not to bounce everything through a FastPath. Thanks, Robert -- Robert K. Shull rob@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu chinet!uokmax!rob

AppleShare Client works, but no-one seems to know of any plans for AppleShare server support. >Has anyone tried to compile the cap software without the cap libraries >(just use the built-in AppleTalk software)? >aufs and lwsrv work pretty well, but we would prefer not to bounce >everything through a FastPath. I have 100 students writing up their final year projects using MS-Word under A/UX 1.1.1, and no LocalTalk in sight.... getting the CAP lwsrv to run under A/UX is a priority task which I am currently working on. So far I've spliced in DDP instead of the KIP stuff, but I need to make a number of changes to the CAP NBP code (and possibly elsewhere) before it will work. What I really wanted to do was run EtherTalk on the A/UX loopback interface, talking to a local lwsrv process which feeds into the BSD spooler we ported (or the one supplied with A/UX 2.0, when 2.0 ships). The "AppleTalk for A?UX" stuff doesn't support this on the loopback interface, so it will have to be done with the real Ethernet. If I get it working OK, next trick is to use Apple Single format instead of the present AUFS scheme for storing files. The main snag as far as I am concerned is that "AppleTalk for A.UX" is AppleTalk Phase 2 and so won't talk to our existing gateways. -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)

A/UX 2.0 includes AppleShare CLIENT ONLY - allowing use of served HFS volumes. We haven't implemented an A/UX version of AppleShare server or PrintServer yet, so you'll have to wait a while for them . . . /Ron Johnston
