Additional capabilities for your server system

You have the option to install two programs included with your server that
provide new capabilities for your system software:

m PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services
m QuickDraw GX, which gives your computer more powerful

printing capabilities

If you use your server as a personal computer and other users on your
network have installed PowerTalk, you will find PowerTalk’s features useful.
When you install PowerTalk, you also install its on-screen help, available in
the Guide (

h) menu.

IMPORTANT

If you use the AppleShare Print Server with your server and you

want to also use QuickDraw GX, be sure to see the AppleShare Read Me file.

You’ll find Installers for these optional programs in the System Software
Installers folder on the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc.

IMPORTANT

AppleScript, which allows you to automate many actions you

perform repeatedly on your server, is already installed in your system. To
review the available automated tasks, look in the Apple (

K) menu. To learn how

to create new scripts for your server, see the “Using AppleScript” documents
in the AppleScript folder in the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk.

Backing up your files

Making backup copies of important server files is good protection against
possible damage to the originals. If a backup program was included with your
server, be sure to use it (or another backup program if you prefer) to set up and
schedule a regular, automatic backup of your files. You can also back up your
files manually, by making copies on another hard disk or even on floppy disks,
but such methods are less convenient.
