Bill and the group,

        We will be testing this later. I gather the newest version of
netatalk also includes the ability to have an volume administrator,
somethin which has been a very important lack. Now that
I look at this discussion, I'm convinced I'll find that DNAStar does
exactly what I've guessed below.

        As usualy thanks to you all, the best tech support group
there is!
