	I am confused about the capabilities of System 7 filesharing.  Several
people have told me that filesharing supports a maximum of 10 simultaneous
clients.  In "The System 7 Book," Craig Danuloff sez(page 268):

	"File Sharing can serve only 10 folders or volumes from one 
	Macintosh at a time, and support only 50 users at one time (and
	that would be pushing it)."

	So, what is the correct story?  If one is setting up a Mac fileserver
on a dedicated Mac, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using AppleShare,
vs. System 7 filesharing?
