(and, if you wish, others you designate) have access to the documents in

those folders maintain documents that change frequently (such as student

rosters, company address lists, or databases about clients) so that you no

AppleShare print service

An AppleShare print server is a Macintosh computer, often the same computer

as the file server, that is running special AppleShare print server software.

The print server helps to reduce the printing workload of your computer and

the time you spend waiting for your computer to finish printing a document.

When you and other people on your network print documents, the documents are

sent to the print server, which routes them to the respective printers on a

first-come, first-serve basis. However, all of this routing and printing

occurs behind the scenes; you simply print your documents as you normally do

and the use of your computer is quickly returned to you.

What's new in AppleShare 3.0?

If you have worked with AppleShare before, you'll find most of the menu

commands and dialog boxes in version 3.0 very familiar. The following new

features are included in this version.

Server volumes

AppleShare 2.0 allowed you to select a hard disk connected to the file server

that you wanted to use. With AppleShare 3.0, volumes that appear in the

Chooser and on your desktop can be folders, as well as hard disks or CD-ROM

discs. However, the steps you take to connect to the file server and to

select a volume are exactly as they were in version 2.0.

Server messages

Your network administrator can send you messages from the file server.

Messages may include information on upgrade alerts, service dates, and

warnings about server shutdown. These messages can appear at any time while

you are connected to a file server, or they can appear as a "greeting

message" when you log on to a server.

Inherited access privileges

With AppleShare 3.0, a newly created folder is automatically assigned the

access privileges of the folder that contains it. This feature saves time and

helps to avoid mistakes, because in many cases the same users need to see a

folder and all its enclosed folders. Of course, if you want a folder you
