This is a similar vain to the current requests regarding
Gatorbox NFS v alternatives. Can someone fill me in on a
comparison on using NFS from the Mac (be it via Gatorboxes or
direct from the Macs) and using CAP software on Unix boxes. I
assume that if you start using NFS the file type/creator
information of Mac files dissapears - or have I missed
something? How do external (Unix created) files appear in both
these environments.

PS. Thanks to all those people who sent me info about MacX
loadings.
