I think you missed the point; improvements in 3.0 (relative to
2.x) will make it significantly easier to adapt things like
CAP and netatalk to run "native."

My only direct experience with uShare is with the Sun version.
Let's just say that I'm not impressed; it does pretty much the
bare minimum.  Even if uShare were free and didn't have obnoxious
copy protection, I'd prefer one of the others.

Fortunately for IPT, NeXT "forgot" to send me 3.0 prereleases, so
I haven't been personally responsible for decimating their market
share.  Someone else probably will.
