AppleShare: Documentataion On Desktop Calls



Where are the new desktop calls (OpenDB, AddIcon, AddComment, and so on)
documented? I've noticed that our AppleShare servers support the "new" Desktop
Manager, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on it. Can you
help?

The desktop calls such as FPAddIcon are documented in two places: Inside
AppleTalk and the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) Engineering Technical Notes.
Both of these are available from APDA. For programming purposes, we recommend
the Technical Notes; we suggest Inside AppleTalk for a theoretical
understanding of the internals of AppleTalk.

(NOTE: These calls are currently available only for AppleShare. They are not
supported for local volumes.)
