    In a previous message, the question was asked if PATHWORKS for
    Macintosh had been ported to other languages.  The answer is yes.  The
    work was done by Ditital's Valbone, France facilities.  I would suggest
    that you contact your Digital representive and arrange to get a copy
    which has been ported to language variant of the Mac/OS you are
    currently using.
    
    But in the mean time.  The "AppleShare Folder" is the name that the
    American (English) version of the Mac/OS uses to store the alternate
    UAMs.  The name may be different for the language variant you are
    using.
    
    Using ResEdit on your Macintosh, you can find out just what your
    version of the Mac/OS thinks the equivalent name for the "AppleShare
    Folder" is.
    
        o  Launch ResEdit.
        o  Open the "AppleShare" extension.  This is difficult for me because
           I don't know if the AppleShare extension has the same name or is
           named something else on your system. 
           - It is located in the "Extensions" folder which is stored in
             the "System Folder".  Do they have the same names?
           - The "AppleShare" extension will have a Icon that is a Waiter's
             up turned hand holding a serving tray on its finger tips.  The 
             Serving tray has representations of a folder icon, a generic
             application icon, and a document icon.  It is the same Icon
             you see in the Chooser for selecting file servers.
        o  Now that you have the "AppleShare" extension opened by ResEdit, 
           you will have a list of 3 and 4 character resource names.
        o  Double click on the "STR" resource.
        o  You will now have a list of numeric string IDs.
        o  Double click on the -4082 string ID.
    
    String ID -4082 is the name of the folder that the AppleShare extension
    looks in to find the alternate UAMs.  On my American version it looks
    like the following:
    
    	:AppleShare Folder:
    
    You are finished with ResEdit.  You may quit ResEdit, and if it should
    ask if you want to save any changes, answer No, never, not on your
    life, we were just looking thank you :-)
    
    On your system, create a folder with the name that you find in the
    string resource -4082 (don't include the colons, they are pathname
    syntax characters) and place the VMS UAM in that folder.  Then put that
    folder in your System Folder.  In theory, you should now be able to use
    the Chooser to select a file server and be prompted for an alternate
    UAM for entering password information.
    
    But I would still suggest that you obtain the correct language variant
    of PATHWORKS for Macintosh to go with the Mac/OS language variant you
    are using.
