This only applies if you want the System 6 Macs to be able to *offer*
files; the System 6 AppleShare client works quite nicely with System 7
File Sharing...which was the whole point!

That's the beauty of File Sharing compared to Public Folder; it uses
AFP, which means it has a real Finder interface instead of that...
thing... that Public Folder uses. ;-)
