[comp.sys.apple2] which items can be INITShared?

jim@nature.berkeley.edu (02/17/91)

INITShare is a great init/cdev that allows floppy-only appleshare clients
to extend the contents of their System Folder to a secondary folder shared
on an Appleshare server.

I'd like to see a list of which items others are successfully sharing
via INITShare.

My list includes:
  AutoIdle (screen saver)
  General
  Keyboard
  MacinTalk
  Monitors
  Mouse
  PopChar
  Disinfectant INIT
  KeyAccess (Sassafras Software's launch control INIT)

I am also experimenting with Suitcase II so that I could share fonts and DAs,
but I have experienced lock-ups from time to time. 

According to Jaap Snijders, one of the authors of INITShare, LaserWriter
and Broadcast cannot be shared.

What have others found to work, or not work?

I have heard of Macintalk, Suitcase II and Disinfectant for the Mac, put not
for any Apple II systems. Certainly I have never heard of any of the other
dozen or so titles mentioned. Are these PD or are they included in some
DA/INIT commercial disk? None of these particularly appeals to me (Twilight is
close enough to AutoIdle), however I would be most interested in MacInTalk GS
(I doubt the Apple II speaker is up to the task).

Maybe it's just late at night and this person has posted Mac Stuff in the
Apple II newsgroup?
