INTRODUCTION
This introduction provides information to people who are new to AppleShare as
well as to those who are not. The first section gives new AppleShare users an
overview of the AppleShare services and features. If you've used previous
versions of AppleShare, you can skip directly to the section "What's New in
AppleShare 3.0?" Also included in this chapter is a list of additional books
for further information on AppleShare and networking.
If you are using system software version 7.0 or later, the procedures for
using shared files are slightly different. Refer to the manuals that came
with your computer or your System 7 documentation.
What is AppleShare?
AppleShare is software that allows you to share information or network
resources with other users. AppleShare includes server and workstation
software. This manual describes how to set up and use the workstation
software.
AppleShare provides two key services to you and your network. These are:
- file service, which lets you store and share files on the network
- print service, which lets you quickly regain the use of your computer when
you print documents
AppleShare services can be used on any AppleTalk network -- Apple Computer's
network system that allows Macintosh and other computers (such as Apple II,
MS-DOS, and even large mainframe computers) to communicate with each other.
An AppleTalk network also allows computer users to share printers, file
servers, and other network-based services.
AppleTalk can operate over several different network types. One type,
LocalTalk, is built into every Macintosh and Apple IIgs computer. Apple IIe
users can connect to a LocalTalk network by installing an Apple II
Workstation Card. AppleTalk can also operate over Ethernet networks, to which
you can connect using EtherTalk software. TokenTalk software allows you to
use AppleTalk over Token Ring networks. If you want to know more about
AppleTalk or network types, consult your network administrator or see the
books listed at the end of this chapter.
No matter which type of network your computer is on, you use AppleShare
services in the same manner.
AppleShare file service
An AppleShare file server consists of a Macintosh computer that has one or
more hard disks or CD-ROM discs attached to it and that is running AppleShare
file server software. The file server makes all or some of the folders on the
hard disks or CD-ROM discs accessible to other computers on the network,
provided they have AppleShare workstation software or other file-sharing
software installed. In most cases, you can use a file server to share files
with other network users instead of printing and distributing paper documents
or trading floppy disks.
When you use an AppleShare file server, you can read or post messages in a
"bulletin board" folder accessible to an entire department, workgroup, or
