First off there is Jim Luther's AppleShare Setup Control Panel for AppleShare 3.0 through ??? under System 6 through System 7.?.?
http://macinsearch.com/infomac/comm/atlk/appleshare-setup.html Then there is AppleShare Client Setup 1.0 that works from System 7.0 through at least 8.6. ftp://ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Misc/ What makes these so very useful is when you have connected to an AppleShare or AppleShare IP server and selected shares to automount, it causes no end of problems if the server isn't available. Why? Because Apple made AppleShare/ASIP so you have to log into a server _before_ you can _deselect_ shares to automount. (Completely unlike Win9x where you just click the share in Explorer then click the unmap button and you _don't_ need to login to do it.) If the server isn't there or isn't answering, your Mac will sit there for a long time waiting, not letting you do anything. Both of these utils allow you to clear the automount list without hunting down invisible files to trash. AppleShare Client Setup also allows you to customize the timeout times, which in most cases are way too long. I don't know if AppleShare Setup CP has that feature or not. Where you _won't_ find either of these is on the Apple web site. If by chance you should find a page with a link to one, it will throw you into the horrible Downloads page where the "search" is not really a search at all, and if you try the "smart" search, you aren't going to find these utils. I tried things like Open Transport, AppleShare Client Setup and others, but all I'd ever get was dumped into a list of everything except anything like what I input. They don't even list "classic" Mac OS on the sitemap anymore. apple.com/macos shoves you off to OSX, apple.com/downloads crams you into an OSX page. Face it, Apple is determined to kill off everything except OSX. Expect more and more "classic OS" stuff to vanish or forcibly redirect to OSX info. :P Even apple.com/java bounces you off to OSX. (You now have to go to the developers site to get MRJ for pre OSX.) Earth to Apple. We who use System 6 through 9.2.1 are still here and still need all those "old" downloads and information! It would really be to your your benefit to setup a URL like classic.apple.com for Mac OS 9.2.1 and older instead of treating _everyone_ who _doesn't_ own a Mac that's still in warranty and capable of running OSX like they don't exist! You're only going to drive more Mac users away. P.S. Anyone know what the last Open Transport update is for OS 8.6? The latest one available is only for 9.1+ and 8.6 on some iMacs, iBooks or any G4 that can run 8.6, not on any other G3 or older PPC with 8.6. :P ===== "The earth swarms with inhabitants.
