This packet needs root permissions to install and run. It will install itself
SUID at the first run but will ask you for the root password on every startup.
CAPer can be used free of charge, however certain restrictions apply. Please
read the Licence agreement in the Information panel. All trademarks, icons and

you really like this software, however you are not obliged in any way.
I'd like to thank all people out there who made this package possible.
YOU ARE USING THIS SOFTWARE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO WARRANTY.
Supported hardware: m68k (NS3.[123], OS4.x) , intel (NS3.3, OS4.x)
Some network drivers are known to fail under NS/OS Intel, see the CAPer URL
for more information.
CAPer.V8.I.b.tar.gz is the INTEL only version
CAPer.V8.N.b.tar.gz is the M68K only version
There is no FAT version.
This is a revised version of the CAPer package which replaces the V6 release,
V7 was only a beta test version, if you run any CAPer release below V8 please
upgrade as this release now fixes most bugs and shortcomings. (Still there is
no file locking - not much I can do about it, as it seems to be broken in NS)
If you upgrade from a V6 release, please keep in mind that your setup files
will be overwritten too. Before base installing you can save your setup:
- Exported fileystems
/usr/local/lib/cap/afpvols
- Exported printers
/usr/local/cap/start-print-servers
/usr/local/lib/cap/lwsrv_*.conf
- Imported printers (local Appletalk printers)
/usr/local/cap/*.sh
If you upgrade from a V4 or lesser release you have to remade your setup
using the GUI tools. Do not try to use your old scripts in this case!
