hi,

I manage some 15 macs at my work. We recently got a Mac II and AppleShare
and laserShare and now I am trying to set it all up. But some questions
remain, that are even to diffucult for the dealer.

1.
AppleShare came with system 4.1.
LaserShare has system 3.3 (!) on its disk

I want to use system 4.3 ('release 5.1' sigh...) troughout the network.

How do I go about upgrading the start-up disks ??

Should I : 

A)
make a sys 4.3 disk, use the AppleShae installer to install A.S. and than
install LaserShare with its bundled installer ?

Will this work ? Can one install A.S> and L.S. from disk that has an 
older system version on it than the target disk ?


or should I

B)

upgrade both the A.S. and the L.S. installer disks to sys 4.3 (using the
installer supplied with sys 4.3 ), and than install A.S. & L.S. to the target
disks. (Q: Will the installers on the A.S. and L.S. disks complain about the
system on their disks being upgraded ?).


Any hints on the procedures to follow when one has to install 
AppleShare supplied with System version X and LaserShare supplied with 
system version Y to a target system version Z where 
X <> (OR =) Y <> (OR =) Z 
would be much appreciated.



Another A.S. topic:

Are there already applications that are save to multiple-launch ?

I set the 'Cached' bit of Word 3.01b for example, but that
gave me the nr 26 granate on the second launch. Any help....

By the way: I am *very* impressed by AppleShare. Powerful product
yet easy to operate.


Have a nice day
