I would like to point out that there is a relatively trivial way
to circumvent AppleShare 2.0's copy-protection system. Apple has been
informed of the problem, and hopefully is working on a solution (I
have not heard of one yet). I will say that both Doppleganger and
Multilauncher, while not alleviating the problem, do make it a bit
more difficult for a user to circumvent the copy-protection scheme.
Note: If you don't know this "relatively trivial way", then don't
bother asking, I'm not going to tell you.

Due to the above-mentioned problem with AppleShare 2.0's copy-protection,
Noel, I DO NOT recommend that you drop Doppelganger.
