AppleShare: How To Keep Apple II & Macintosh Software Separate



I want to use a utility (that is: Disk Tools, DiskTop or ResEdit) to make Apple
II folders (that is: Aristotle, system, and users) invisible to Macintosh
users. I want to prevent the users from going into a folder and trashing its
contents. I could "lock" them, but if they don't know they are out there it
works better in the long run.

Is this process safe?

The problem with making those files invisible to Macintosh users is that they
will also be invisible to Apple IIGS users -- the Apple IIGS users will have no
convenient way to launch Applesoft BASIC.

We recommend locking them. This prevents those without adequate AppleShare
privileges from removing, renaming, or replacing them.
