Hi!
I have a lot of trouble to get this to work. I use pc:s with samba and mac
with netatalk on my network. I have all the right file type and creator
codes in my AppleVolumes.system. I can save and open excel4 documents with
no problems. that is creating and saving on a pc and opening and editing on
a mac. But when i use excel5 i run into problems. I get strnge notes about
filess being write protected even though I can see that they are open for
write and read to all by unix permissions.
An excel5 document saved on a pc will give "file write protected" when
opened on a mac via netatalk. I have set my samba system to use mode 666
when creating any files. So it is rw for everyone always.
strange...
Peter
