Can anyone recommend any relatively cheap applications for file transfer between two Macs on an Appletalk network. Many thanks, John Pearce jpearce@uk.ac.ucl.cs Computer Science Department University College London

You might like to check out an init called - er - Public Folder by Claris which I believe has now been released into the public domain. I have never used it before but I think it just lets people drop stuff into a specific folder and then anyone else on the network can access it. If you have access to ftp or bulletin boards in England then you should not have too much trouble finding it - otherwise mail me and I shall see if I can help.

It's public domain. Small correction. Public Folder isn't in the public domain, rather it's Freeware. Claris retains the Copyright to Public Folder, but make it available to anyone who wants it for free. (I always thought of it as AdWare. Every time you use it you see a big Claris logo and are expected to thank mother Claris for her generosity :-) -- michael peirce (author of Public Folder during my previous life at Claris) -- Michael Peirce -- {apple,decwrl}!claris!outpost!peirce -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- and Consulting -- (408) 244-6554
