with the downside of a non working auto refresh, Dave itself isn't a
wonder on stability (in other words: i've seen it crashing...),
and it's proprietary.

I'am trying to evaluate how far the quantum leap of real productivity
is away for netatalk, but Adrian seems very busy, and I don't know,
where to get some actual docs for this concern. I would like to see
the functionality of nt services for Macintosh by the speed of netatalk
running on linux ;-)

And it "feels" not to far away from that.

Does someone on these lists would like to point me to some docs explaining
the concepts and specialities of mac [network] file systems. Namely the
DIDs, Network Trash Folder and such beasts.

Thanks in advance
FrisPete

P.S.: I'm a bit confused with the netatalk mailing list reply tactics.
      Wouldn't make a Reply-To: $listaddr field in the mail header more
      sense, instead of replying to the sender directly by default?
