I'm waiting for our upgrade to NW 3.11 and the Macintosh NLM and can't
upgrade to Mac System 7 yet. (MacDFT - Apple's 3270 emulation program
isn't System 7 compatible). So I can't try anything, but can only think
about the possibilities.  One question I have is:

Can someone with a System 7 Mac (and appropriate application) "publish"
a file from their Mac onto the Netware 3.11 fileserver, then have
someone else (again with the appropriate System 7 Mac s/w) "subscribe"
to that same "published" file?

EG.  I have a (System 7 compatible) spreadsheet (Excel 3.0) and publish
this onto the fileserver.  My boss, with a word processor that's System
7 compatible, subscribes to this spreadsheet and automatically uses my
spreadsheet in a report he's writing.

I expect I can do this from Mac to Mac, but I'd prefer to store the
published "stuff" on the file server (it's up all the time whereas my
Mac may be turned off, the server is backed up regularly, etc).

Thanks to anyone who might:  (a) Know 'cause they've done it, (b) Know
'cause they know it will work, or (c) Believe 'cause they have faith in
this sort of thing.
