If you want more than one Mac to be able to see the pc then you have to buy
a copy of Dave for each Mac. Dave seeks out other Macs on the network and
won't let you use a specific serial number on more than one Mac.

PCMacLan (Miramar Systems, Inc. - www.miramarsys.com) is software for the pc
that lets every Mac on the network see the pc. That is what I would
recommend. 

I don't think, however, that you can run software on a pc from a Mac
networked to it. Transferring data files between the Mac and pc is fine, you
can do that without any problems.

With either Dave or PCMacLan you will be able to pull a data file from one
machine to the other, edit it and put it back on the original machine. You
need to be careful, though. You may be able to open a word document in
Appleworks on your Mac but if you don't save it as a word document then the
pc will not be able to read it. If you are using word on the pc it would be
helpful to use word on the Mac, too. Or get MacLinks Plus for the Mac and/or
the pc. 

I don't know what tsstalk is so I can't answer that question. You will be
able to print from the pc to any printer on the network just as long as you
install the correct drivers on the pc. I currently have a pc and two Macs on
my home network and the pc can print to the LaserWriter II which is on the
network. I have also connected to a pc network with my laptop and printed to
the networked printer from the Mac.

Good luck.

effective piece of software to accomplish this. ?also if dave is what i want
will i be able to edit, add, delete information from my mac onto the pc.
?and last of all i need to know if tsstalk will allow my pc to print on my

if anyone has any input or better ideas please pass them on.
