For those of you who don't normally follow the AppleTalk newsgroup,
I should point out that there is an important proposal posted there
that affects all Macintosh programs in hetereogeneous computing
environments:

    From: andrews@apple.UUCP (Richard Andrews)
    Newsgroups: comp.protocols.appletalk
    Subject: Mac File Representation
    Message-ID: <1587@apple.UUCP>

    Organization: Apple Computer Inc., Cupertino, USA

    Here is our first attempt at a proposal for representing Mac files
    on other file systems.  Please circulate it freely.  I welcome
    comments and suggestions, with the following caveat:

    PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS BRIEF AND CONCISE.  I EXPECT A LOT OF
    FEEDBACK AND I CAN'T POSSIBLY WADE THROUGH A WHOLE LOT OF MATERIAL.
    I CANNOT REPLY TO EVERYONE PERSONALLY.

It proposes two file formats, AppleSingle and AppleDouble, which
represent a file on another file system (e.g. UNIX or MS-DOS) as
either one file, or two files, respectively.

Further information and discussion can be found in comp.protocols.appletalk.
