The system 7.0 Chooser has no username field!!!! We/ECN/I have spent 2 years developing LaserWriter accounting software (that works wonderfully right now I might add). However, how can my (how can *ANY*) accounting software work without a username/choosername associated with a print job. This can't be right! I must need to toggle something to get it to appear and just can't find it, right? Somebody who knows how to make the choosername field come back please let me know. This is just a bad nightmare, right? This can't be happening... Mike Moya Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Purdue University

This is just a bad nightmare, right? This can't be happening... It's still there! It's just relocated -- to the Sharing Setup control panel. Myself, I'm glad they moved it; people at this university kept opening the Chooser on public Macs that were supposed to have specific Chooser names, typing their own name into the Chooser, then connecting to file servers. Why, I'll never figure out... << Brian >> | Brian S.

However, how can my (how can *ANY*) accounting software work Ok, cool down and relax. Look at the Control Panel "Network Setup". You can give the name of the user AND the name of the machine. Nice, isn't it ? Don't forget to use these informations in a clean way (ie don't bestialy read the string in th system, but gently ask Gestalt to do it for you (see the appropriate chapter of IM VI).
