AppleTalk is pretty well documented in a work called "Inside Appletalk"
available from APDA (APDA #KNSIAT). AFP (the filing protocol used
by AppleShare) is documented in APDA #KNBAFP. AFP at least is proprietary
(says so on the first page of the documentation). I don't know anything
about developing AppleTalk/AppleShare for another computer, if that is
what you are looking for, but I would check around before jumping into that
water - there are already AppleTalks for many machines, and ways to hook
into still others.
