Title: Using NetSwitch to Access the Active System Folder
Date: 9/28/90

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

On a local Macintosh drive, a "blessed" System Folder is the System Folder
used when that drive has your active System Folder.  The "blessed" folder
has a Mac icon to identify it.

Unfortunately, the Macintosh System Software will not allow a System Folder
on an AFP volume (that is, on a network drive) to be blessed.  You will
notice that even after you have NetSwitched to a 3+Open for Macintosh volume,
the System Folder you are using is not officially blessed--it does not have
the Mac icon on it.  To switch to it, the NetSwitch application looks for a
folder in your private 3+Open Mac volume named "System Folder".

If NetSwitch does not find a folder with the EXACT name "System Folder", it
will fail with the message:

    A suitable volume with a System and Finder could not be found.
    Make sure that you are linked to a 3+Open volume of which you are
    the owner and to which no one else has access.

This can happen even if you have System Folder files on that volume.  It
will happen to users who have a System Folder that is not labeled in
English.  The Netswitch application does not understand non-English
languages, so international users MUST use the name "System Folder" to
identify the active System Folder to NetSwitch.
