Hello.

From my impression, when you clicked on the title in a Get Info box
and it showed you a cryptic/MS-DOS-ish "filename," it indeed was the way that
the famed Desktop Manager stores the filename and keeps track of large
libraries of files.  The reason I have this impression is this feature
is present in the 6.0.x "init" version of the desktop manager that comes with
an AppleShare server.

Since File Sharing is actually an AppleShare server in the background
(don't quote me here, but it amazingly is...hehe...), it probably has something
to do with desktop manager and AppleShare like the 6.0 stuff did.


Am I right, Apple?

Steve
