This b yitself will not do it. You have to get rid of that invisible file
as well... wish I could remember its name.

No to this one (apart from turining Appletalk off)

And yes to this one. Apart from all the little Appleshare files you
trashed, there are one or 2 HIDDEN appleshare pref file you have to get
rid of. I don't remember their names off the top of my head but if you go
to Apple's site and do a search on their Tech Info Library you'll find
them there along with a very simple procedure on how to do it.
Good luck

And this is a windows 95 thing, not an Apple thing (the same situation
arises when sharing printers from an NT server to win 95 machines).

No, this is a DOS limitation - Not a windoze 95 limitation.

Douglas:
One way to rescue any text that file might contain would be to take
it to a Mac, and use BBEdit (the lite version is free) with the
CanOpener Text Extractor (freeware). They're available from the URLs
below.
<http://web.barebones.com/>
<http://www.abbottsys.com/>
This won't get you any graphics, and you'll need to rebuild any
formatting the original file may have had, but you should be able to
get all the text it contains.

There IS a ClarisWorks for Windows. I know a couple of people who use it.
Hope this helps.

Good morning,
One of my end users asked me yesterday if I have any
suggestions for a shared calendar program. There are two stiff
requirements. First it has to support both Mac and Windows clients
and second it can not be server based. Something that runs on one
client which that client shares is what she needs.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

None. Maybe Alex is talking about a different problem, because I've
managed to fix the automatic logon problem merely by deleting the
"AppleShare Prep" file and rebooting the machine. This has worked on
machines ranging from LCIIs running system 7.1 to PowerMacs & iMacs running
MacOS 8.6.
I'm sure that there are hidden AppleShare files around, but I've never
needed to mess with them.
