	Aug 25 2008	MARK EVERITT I think that this suite may be primarily for UNIX and Linux boxes on which configuring SAMBA can be a bit of a pain (although I've got it working fine on Ubuntu and Debian). As far as OS X goes it's not needed. We all seem to be aware that we can mount windows file servers and alter files in situ etc. (Version 3.6)		+1

	Aug 1 2006	MACINSPORE Developer Blurb states: "Mounting means that you can open files directly from the server with any application you like, as if they were on a local disk." I do this regularly with Tiger 10.4.7 and an up to date Windows 2000 Workstation, now serving as my file server. ??Why Sharity?? Also note that I can copy Mac Apps to the Win2000 file server (setup with windows "simple file-sharing only")and run these directly from the win2000 file server. ??Why Sharity?? If have fundamentally misunderstood the value of this product to the average cross platform file sharer, please correct me. I look forward to hearing from the developer or someone intimately familiar with this product. TIA (Version 3.2)		0

	Apr 27 2005	ANONYMOUS Read the site: "Although we will not support Mac OS X officially, we will provide binaries for this platform. Apple bundles a CIFS client with the operating system and we will not try to compete with this free alternative. However, since we prefer Sharity over Apple's implementation on our own computers, we have Mac OS X packages available." Also, the 1-user/1-server license is free of charge, a student license is free, and a 2-user home license is $59. This is cross-platform software as well - not specific to OS X. (Version 2.10)		0

RC I second the previous commenter's post. How is this different from the CIFS/SMB client built into OS X?

I guess "Anonymous" commenting that they prefer it on their machine ("we prefer Sharity over Apple's implementation on our own computers") rather than Apple's own implemation is valid but WHY? What makes this better or different than Apple's implementation.

Thank you

SWGS1 RC: those words were taken directly from the developer, I believe you can see them for yourself either on their website, or in the Read Me that comes with Sharity. Objective Development prefers this, and maybe others will too. Personally, I'm quite fine with the built-in CIFS client.

	Apr 26 2005	ANONYMOUS How is this any better from the built-in ability to do this straight from Mac OS X? (for free) (Version 2.10)		0
