Yes ASPC will connect to a Mac running FileShare on System 7.0.
No, there is no new version of AppleShare PC coming -- Apple has turned
the product over to Farallon.  They have released a new version.

Yes, it is the exact same question. FileShare uses the same AFP protocol as
a stand-alone AFP server.  Your PC or System 6 machine cant' tell the
difference.
