we've been trying out the singleshare file server package that came thru
comp.binaries.mac not too long ago, and have finally tracked down a fairly
severe problem when saveing files in MPW while singleshare is running.  the'
problem is that (sometimes?) file saves from MPW are ineffective: the file is
NOT updated, though MPW seems to 'think' it is.  anyone else had this problem?

also, as a novice user of file servers, is it normal not to see the icons from
a remote hard drive?  no combinations of protections make this happen for us,
though i can open the desktop file on the remote hard drive no problem.

singleshare seems like a wonderful package, at a reasonable price, IF these
problems can be worked out.  any help will be greatly appreciated.
