I've been playing around with Public Folder and JCRemote. They both are similar in that they are pre-System 7 peer-to-peer file sharing programs. They are use Appletalk, bit not Appleshare/AFP. They are both Chooser extensions that you must have on but ends to use it, and they don't mount drives, just fetch files/folders. One interesting item I found is that JCRemtote, I could "share a share". I mounted a volume on my Color Classic from my iMac running 10.5. Then I connected to my CC with an LC running 6.0.8 with JCRemote. I was able to see the iMac's volume and pull files/folders from it! Wrong direction for my ultimate needs, but pretty interesting. Shows AppleShare's limitation on this is Apple manufactured. Public Folder (From Claris) does not let you do this, just like AppleShare.
