I'm looking for a cheap way to share files between my networked Mac and PC. I have Windows for Workgroups on the PC and System 7.1 (with MacTCP) on the Mac. Currently I've rigged up a "FTP file system" between the two. It involves using (on the PC) Trumpet Winsock, ws_ftp, ws_ftpd, (and on the Mac) NCSA Telnet, Fetch, MacPerl and Applescript. (Thank God for free software!) The two computers are sitting right next to each other, so the set up is not all that inconvenient. What would be nice is if there was a Appleshare server for DOS, or a free NFS extension for System 7 (since there are free NFS servers for DOS). Until WINE becomes a little more robust, using CAP under Linux is not really an option, although it would work, and I'd love to go that route. Does anyone have ideas of what else I can do? I'm not very savvy about DOS networking. If there was a commercial package which did the job for less than, say, $100 I could probably justify spending the money. (Note: Since I've cross-posted this to so many newsgroups, I've set the Followup-To: to comp.sys.mac.comm where most Mac networking topics are discussed. Please look there for replies. I will also post a summary there of any email responses I receive.) -- Erik E. Rantapaa -- rantapaa@math.umn.edu
