I am interesting in reading this topics. Because I want to know
"how can you tell if it is an AppleShare volume?", too.
But I am disappointed to know a good conclusion.
Please tell me "how can you tell if it is an AppleShare volume?"

P.S. I tried to use PBHGetVolParms. But if I execute this function
     when an AppleShare volume is mounted, this program is hang up....
