Actually, I believe what may have started all of this discussion about
AppleShare "Shared Environment" is the document titled: "Software Applications
in a Shared Environment" dated Final Draft: 8/6/87.  This document was 
produced by the Communications & Networking Technical Publications dept at 
Apple.

No, I'm not up on APDA these days, but I bet that it is available from this
source.  It doesn't have an APDA number or any other identification info about
the document either.  I know this because I'm holding a copy in my hands.
