Simon, the forked project is "Baltra". It changes the scheme that Netatalk uses to store files on the server to use Apple's standards (utf-8, ._filename style AppleDouble forks, etc.) instead of Netatalk's ancient arbitrary schemes.

Is there a Mac OS 9 and Mac OS 10 Samba File/Printer Shares Client???? Or i have to install a server using the macintosh protocol ?
OS X connects to SMB servers out of the box. OS 9 does not, however there is third party software (Dave from Thurlby Systems ?) that adds this capability.
Be aware however that Netatalk sores Mac files differently to OS X accessing the same server via SMB - though there is a forked project (under a different name that escapes me at the moment) that is engineering a version of Netatalk to support AFP3 and compatibility between the two access methods.
