*The OS X server doesn't support ProDOS-type file type info, so trying to set it will give an error. This normally causes GS/OS to give an error when creating a file. There is now an option to ignore the error and proceed with creating the file, although the file type still won't be set.
*The OS X server seems to restrict each write operation to a small size based on the ASP quantum, so there is now an option for this. Using this option means we may write less than requested, but the AppleShare FST can detect this and proceed to write the rest.
This tells the server to keep the session alive (typically for at least several hours) without sending or expecting tickles. This is useful in cases where our run queue procedure is not run regularly or at all, e.g. in text-mode shells.
The implementation here is geared toward compatibility with Netatalk and differs from Apple's published standards in a couple ways. It may or may not work with other servers.
