AppleShare: Requires Dedicated Server



If I had enough RAM, would it be possible to run AppleShare file and print
servers on my Macintosh in the background under MultiFinder? I know that
the instructions state that I need a dedicated machine, but I only need to
use a few other programs.

Unfortunately, there is no way to make either the AppleShare File Server or
Print Server run in the background under MultiFinder The "administrative"
portions of these systems can run concurrently under the server software,
but that is not the same as running in the background The actual code that
drives the server software actually modifies the operation of the System to
such an extent that most applications would be incompatible with it.
