I'm waiting for our upgrade to NW 3.11 and the Macintosh NLM and can't upgrade to Mac System 7 yet. (MacDFT - Apple's 3270 emulation program isn't System 7 compatible). So I can't try anything, but can only think about the possibilities. One question I have is: Can someone with a System 7 Mac (and appropriate application) "publish" a file from their Mac onto the Netware 3.11 fileserver, then have someone else (again with the appropriate System 7 Mac s/w) "subscribe" to that same "published" file? EG. I have a (System 7 compatible) spreadsheet (Excel 3.0) and publish this onto the fileserver. My boss, with a word processor that's System 7 compatible, subscribes to this spreadsheet and automatically uses my spreadsheet in a report he's writing. I expect I can do this from Mac to Mac, but I'd prefer to store the published "stuff" on the file server (it's up all the time whereas my Mac may be turned off, the server is backed up regularly, etc). Thanks to anyone who might: (a) Know 'cause they've done it, (b) Know 'cause they know it will work, or (c) Believe 'cause they have faith in this sort of thing.

I choose (b), because I know that the Edition Manager publishes files and doesn't care where they are stored. This also implies that it will work on the Netware for Macintosh VAP. _emt

I used MicroSoft EXCEL 3.0 and it worked fine for publish and suscribe except for one interesting situation. Worksheets, Charts and MacroSheets (or portions thereof) all worked fine. A new feature of XL 3 is that you can now create charts that are part of a worksheet (as in WINGZ). When I tried to publish a chart created in this manner I received an ERROR Unable to publish message from EXCEL - even though a Chart document Published with no trouble at all. Yes I was able to subscribe to the items published on the novell volume. -- Wayne Billing | male suicide rate/million: for world - 94, billing@ccm.UManitoba.CA | USA - 91, Scotland - 150, Scottish Highlands - 188+ Winnipeg, Manitoba,Canada | female suicide rate/million: world - 28
