[comp.sys.mac.system] Users & Groups file - AppleShare vs System 7

nlil@ccvr1.ncsu.edu (Larry G. Robinson) (04/26/91)

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert an AppleShare
"Users and Groups" file into a format that will be usable 
by System 7 File Sharing? The two files appear to have the
same TYPE signature, but different creators. When renamed
and put in the correct place in the System 7 System Folder,
File Sharing refuses to start up (without comment or error
message.)

thanks.

I don't know about the prospects for converting those files, but I sure hope the
AppleShare 3.0 upgrade handles this issue.  One should not have to recreate the
entire user list again, and again...
