Can you verify that claim somewhere I can read about that please? So far as
I am aware, any machine on a network conforms to protocols for networking,
not to OS applications' ideas which may not be networking protocol
compliant. Therefore, a MAC on a network can share files with an MS based PC
or a Unix based PC.

I say this facetiously of course but here goes - "Am I wrong?"
