I have a network with some System 7.0 and some System 6.0.5 Macs.
I would like the System 6.0.5 Macs to be able to mount shared
volumes on the System 7.0 Macs (I KNOW the reverse direction
will not work -- system 6 doesn't have any file serving
capability).

When I use the 6.0.5 AppleShare and try to mount a system 7 volume,
it fails with a complaint about lacking resources, and suggests
I've mis-installed something.

If I use the system 7.0 AppleShare on the 6.0.5 machines,
this works just fine, UNLESS I make a mistake (like use
an unknown user name), at which point it tries to paint a
dialog box, and crashes.

Can anybody suggest what I'm doing wrong? Or is it simply a bug?

Feel free to mail or post, but if you mail, I'll summarize
(reducing net traffic).

Thanks
