For those of you trying to share Mac files from an NT server (and the one
or 2 that said it doesn't work):

Apart from Installing the Services For Macintosh you MUST have your NT
partition (not the system partition, where it boots from) formatted with
NTFS! FAT16 will not work. If you already have it FAT16 I believe there's
a utility to transform your FAT16 partition to NTFS (convert.exe) and it
ships with the NT software. I also believe Microsoft *guarantees* that
you will not lose information in the conversion. Of course always backup
your info before trying any of this. And read any manuals or help you can
find on it so you don't hit the wrong button and format your hard
drive... after all this is Windoze not Mac we're talking about :)
