Since DataClub is a "virtual AppleShare" server, it (they :-) is accessed through the Chooser and AppleShare. The DataClub software would be resident only on any Macs that provide part of their disk space to the virtual server. At least that is how I think it works. -- Bruce Hall Domain: bhall@pbs.org Public Broadcasting Service UUCP:...{uupsi,vrdxhq,csed-1,ida.org}!pbs!bhall Phone: 703/739-5048 "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes" - Oscar Wilde

DataClub software is necessary on a Mac only if you want that Mac to participate in the virtual volume. If you just want to look at the volume, you need AppleShare client. Simple? - Yossie P.s. you pay only for nodes that are RUNNING DataClub, not those that are accessing the volume. --- yossie@fnal.fnal.gov; yossie@fnccf.bitnet What did the Caspian Sea? - Saki
