It's related to the routing code of FreeBSD, and is not a problem on any other unix system AFAIK. >Netatalk have three major improvements over CAP as I see it: > >1. The support of LaserWriter 8 driver. OK, I haven't testes CAP Patch 197 should fix that, but I can't confirm. Are there still problems? >2. The support of correct icon viewing. You can have both a system > global icon definition file as well as a per-user-dito. Can do it in CAP as well. CAP can also convert file contents between MacRoman & ISO-Latin for text files or files with certain extensions. I, for instance, create my html docs in BBEdit and save them to the CAP server, and voila, they're in ISO-Latin. That's a key feature for me. >3.

This is really stupid in CAP, I agree. ___________________________________________________________________________ Palle Girgensohn Electrical Engineering girgen@e.kth.se Royal Institute of Technology +46 708 99 97 29 Stockholm, Sweden
