I want to write an application-specific program that runs on an
AppleShare server to provide high-level access to a database residing
on the server (using AppleTalk).  The question is:
 
a) I beleive "foreground" programs on a server have to do something special
   in order to co-exist with AppleShare, but I can't find anything in
   APDAlog that would document this.  Can someone give me a precis?
 
b) can I write an INIT that installs a driver on an AppleShare server?
 
I'd rather use an application if I can, since that will make it possible
to use OOP.
 
I'm quite happy with how I can implement this on an ordinary Mac -- it's
just co-existing with AppleShare which poses uncertainties.
 
Thanks for any tips.
