I have recently installed AppleShare 2.0.1 on a Mac II, that is going to
be a public file server.  We would like to install licensed software on it, 
(generic MacWidget stuff) and used the copy-protection setting on AppleShare.  The server will be read-only, so I don't have to worry about
people writing on it, duplication copy-protected software, etc....  The 
problem I am having is that AppleShare 1.x does not obey the copy protection.  With workstation software 2.0.1, I cannot copy 'MacWidget', but
with workstation software 1.x, I can.  Is this a bug or a feature?  

We started giving people (via a 'vendomac', stick a disk in, get a usable
system, finder, appleshare, etc., out) workstation software 1.2.  We will
be changing vendomac to version 2.0.1 next week, and telling people that
you cannot use the old disks with AppleShare due to incompatibility problems.   However, not everyone may upgrade, and this could cause problems.  I have used an application called 'Doople Ganger' (sp??) that
creates a fake application, which then launches the real application.
Unfortunely, I lost the copy I had.  Can some kind soul send me a copy,
or give me an ftp site for it?  This program may solve 'some' of my problems.  Thanks in advance.  Any other solutions for this would be
appreciated.
