Part of the problem with the ProDOS-handling patches currently available
on the net is that they deduce the ProDOS file type (and other information)
based on the Mac FInfo block. As per the Appletalk spec, this is incorrect;
there should be separate data field maintained by the server. It is in
fact possible to have different file information depending on whether it
is being viewed by a Mac or an Apple II.
I don't have my specs with me at the moment (they're at home), but I
can elaborate later if it's still not too late to have the ad struct
expanded. (I think it's only an extra couple or four bytes that it uses.)
