I was wondering if the new version supports "short filenames" (I hope I'm
using the term correctly) that makes it possible for PC based appletalk
implementations to work. I have a number of PC's running PhoneNET PC by
Farallon going to a CAP server... and although it's "working" I am
looking to try something else because of a wierd problem I am having.
[while on the mac, the PC side works fine]
Sporadically.... I will loose icons on my desktop. Literally, I will be
working in a window moving files around and such, then log off, log back
on... and "sometimes" one or several icons are gone. THe files still
exist on my SUN, but no icons. I have gone to great lengths trying to
diagnose this problem, checking out how the .finderinfo and .resource
files change from action to action, as well as posting several questions
on the net, but I always get "yeah, that happens to me too.".
I really enjoy the setup overall, and I can't complain about the
performance, but I still haven't got a stable solution. If anybody has
info on the shortfile support, or any ideas on what might be happening on
my system I would be most grateful.
