I likewise administrate an Appleshare network with a similar
configuation.  The problem of sharing applications can be overcome
in one of three ways:

a)      use network versions of the software - available for most
of the common
	packages.

b)      use a resource editor/file editor or Disktop to set the
shared bit in the
	file's information block

c)      use a nifty utility called DoppleMaker (available on the
BMUG CD-ROM
	or through them) to create indirect launchers (my name!)
	for the applicat
	-tions you wish to share.

I have all of the applications on our server set up to share using
one of the three methods above.  I have yet to find an application
that I have not been able to get to respond to one of these
methods.  Forget the somewhat useless inf provided in the original
topic - doesn't seem to answer the question really!
