Re: LocalTalk/AppleShare between IIgs and Mac LC 575 - how?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

That makes sense.  Like a Unix server on a Windows
based network.  They don't share file formats but the
machine serving the files sends the files in the protocol
of the network hence a Mac would serve the files
in an Appletalk format and the IIgs would understand
the Appletalk protocol due to the software installed.
