For half a year now, we are using CAP 5.0 on our Convex minisuper. Our
Mac II's are equipped with Ethernet cards and use both LocalTalk (Aufs
and printing) and Ethernet (telnet/ftp). It would be nice if we could
"aufs" using EtherTalk. Does anyone know if people are working on a new
CAP release that will support EtherTalk. Anyway, I'm interested in
hearing of new features of a possible new CAP.

Another thing: BUGS or almost BUGS
There's two things that I dislike from the current CAP:
1)	When I drag a file from a "normal" Mac volume to an aufs
	volume, the creation date of the file is updated (to the
	present time) You can see this with e.g. "view by date".
	I find the creation date of a file valuable information, 
	and I hate that it gets lost. 

2)      Error 39 when opening e.g. MacDrawII 1.1 and WriteNow 2.0
	files. I don't know if this is a general CAP problem or only
	on some machines. Anyway, I got help from GertJan Stil 
	(nikhefk, Amsterdam) who sent me a patch. We didn't implement
	it yet, but he says it worked for him. If people are
	interested, let me know, and I'll post it to this newsgroup.
