It looks like the MacDump stuff on merlin.cs.purdue.edu is 
only half of the package. It appears to be the client 
software and appears as a chooser option after you un-
binhex the file and drag it into your system folder. 

BUT, I think there must be another part that acts as a 
server (and runs on a host running the CAP AppleShare 
server). Maybe there is some arcane option to set when 
running CAP. MacDump's hints section mentions that you 
need to register your volume on the MacDump server and you 
should see the MacDump administrator to do that. 

Does anyone know how you set up the server? We're already 
running CAP, so the question is:

"What do you need to do in addition to installing CAP to 
set up a MacDump server?"
