TOPIC

    This article discusses several issue with launching and saving applications while using AppleShare IP.


DISCUSSION

    There are several issues here for discussion:
    • Privileges set at the AppleShare IP server
    • Read vs. read/write will affect how an application is launched, and its ability to open and save documents.

    There have been several updates including ClarisWorks 5.0v2 and HyperCard 2.4.1 to correct issues when using these applications located on a server.

    ClarisWorks 4

    ClarisWorks 4.0v6 allows the saving of documents on volumes that are larger than 2 gigabytes. To update to version 4.0v6 from version 4.0v1, two updates must be run.

    Select the appropriate ClarisWorks 4.0v5 Updater (for Education or Retail.) After updating to 4.0v5, use the ClarisWorks 4.0v6 Updater. Both updates may be found at Apple Software Updates sites.

    Customers who have ClarisWorks 4.0 must upgrade to ClarisWorks 4.0v1 or 5.0 to resolve this particular issue.

    ClarisWorks 5

    There are two issues that may affect ClarisWorks 5 users.

    ClarisWorks 5.0v2 corrected an issue when saving documents when the application was launched from a read-only volume. Customers can upgrade to ClarisWorks 5.0v2 from version 5.0 directly using the 5.0v2 updater found at Apple Software Updates sites.

    Second, privileges set at the AppleShare IP server, read vs. read/write, will affect how an application is launched, and its ability to open and save documents.

    HyperCard 2.4.1

    Hypercard 2.4.1 corrected an issue which would result in an erroneous "Can't open stack. File is busy." error message.

    If a HyperCard stack is copied to an AppleShare server, then that stack is opened from the server, Hypercard will give an error: "Can't open Stack. File is busy." Workstations can still access the stack over the network. The Hypercard 2.4.1 updater can be found at Apple Software Updates sites.

    The updater works on HyperCard 2.3, 2.3.5, or 2.4.
