SingleShare, available from the sumex archives is another alternative to
Public Folder and Oscar.
 
SingleShare is an application that you run under multifinder.  It implements
an AppleShare server on your Mac while you are using it.  You
wouldn't want many folk pinging on you though.
 
Advantages.  Uses standard AppleShare and supplies services of same, includiing
             control over read/write and access authentication.
Disadvantages.  Just as complicated as AppleShare.
 
Side Note:   Not a replacement for a real, reliable, supported, high performanc
             AppleShare server.
