Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The ultimate software for Mac and PC owners!
Review: I used my PC and my Mac extensively and for awhile I have been copying files from my zip disk via Mac to my PC and vice versa and with the 250mb zip drives reading 100 disks so slow, I dreamed of what if I could network my Mac G4 via OS X to my PC.

Well, Dave 3.1 is the ONLY software out for MAC OS X at this present time and I don't know how grateful I am for this software. If you you use a Mac and a PC and are in need of file sharing or networking between the two different platforms, simply there is literally no software that is out right now that is more convenient than Dave 3.1. It's easy, it's fast and pretty much you install the software and from there it's a breeze! I was transferring files from my Mac to my PC and vice versa quickly.

Especially beneficial if you are doing huge file transfers! What a life and time saver! I give it a 4 (actually a 4.5), I do think it maybe a bit costly to some but still, it's worth it!

Summary: Macs can co-exist in a PC network.
Review: So, you work in a PC-laden office and you use a Mac.
You know you have files that can be placed on a PC, or you need to retrieve files others have left for you on a PC network. What do you do? Enter DAVE. DAVE adds Netbios to Mac OS 9. This means you can now talk to PC-based file servers from your Mac and no one needs to know you're using a Mac. DAVE works with the Chooser, or you can use the DAVE application, if you are feeling brave.
DAVE even stores the resource forks so you can execute applications that have been saved to a PC. (FTP can't do that.) DAVE is a seamless integration on the Mac. It allows you to share files and PostScript printers. You can even allow your PC buddies to use your Mac PostScript printers. It works remarkably well and sets up in a flash. Once you mount a PC file service, it looks and behaves like a Mac volume. Very impressive.
If price is an issue though, you may want to consider Connectix Double Talk, instead. It has similar functionality at a lower cost. DAVE is now available for OS X, but I have not had the opportunity to try that yet.
