This is *not* the case with QuarkXPress. Any files with embedded
links saved to a netatalk server will retain those links from session
to session - there is no problem with asun37b. Freehand is the only
app with a problem. 99% of our customers use Quark on a daily basis,
and they have no complaints! (We did have to tickle the makefile to
get it to work with OS9/G4s)
However, if you do use an app which ONLY stores the alias as a file
reference, you will have problems. QuarkXPress, Photoshop,
Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and
Filemaker don't have this issue. Tried and tested in over 20 sites.
