It is not realy a program for file transfer althoug this is possible. Mac files will be saved as one file on the Unixhost so there might be a problem using that data(Datafork and Resource fork in one file). The program consists of Macintosh application and a server for the Unix Host. After you start thfe application you have to log on the host and start the server. You then gat a finder like window (icons) with all files in your current working directory. Each type of file (c-source,exe,shell etc etc etc) has his own set of command available from a pull down menu (works nice) Printing of a unix file is possible to printers connected to the unix host or to a apple laserwriter. And you have the possebility of file transfer in a numerous amount of formats.But we tried to use the product to share file's between Macintosh WP and DOS-WP This is not possible. If you want to use this program as a sort of file server you beter have a look at Helios appleshare server.
