The tested configuration is as follows: MacOS 7.6.1 (should work with anything greater than 7) At Ease 5.0.2 AppleShare IP 5.0.3 Netscape 4.0.7 (No reason it shouldn't work from .99 to 4.5) How to do it. Log in as any user that has access to Netscape Communicator, and type in file://Macintosh%20HD/System%20Folder/ and you are able to access the disk. Do the same thing, except use file://At%20Ease%20Volume%20Name/At%20Ease%20%Docs/username and it's quite easy to browse through anyones files. It is possible to download files from that users directory. I have been unable to actually open any of the files once they are downloaded, however in an educational setting, just viewing names in a certian directory could constitute some serious problems (such as if a teacher works with Special Education studends, and has a list of documents to their parents). Apple apparently will not fix their own product.

Hell, is At Ease still supported? Its just a replacement finder as far as I know, it doesn't do things like replace fs drivers and patch binaries to stop things like that. ------------ If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. -Scott Adams --http://random.gimp.org --mailto:random@gimp.org --UIN 23939474 On Thu, 13 May 1999, Tim Conrad wrote: > Apple apparently will not fix their own product.
