Subject: Assimilator 2.0.1
Assimilator is designed for Macintosh lab situations where you want to make
all the harddisk's in a lab look almost identical. When the Assimilator
program is run on a lab Macintosh it will mount an AppleShare file server
and then make the harddisk look more or less exactly like a pre-specified
source folder on the server. It does this by throwing away (into the
Trash) any files or folders that don't belong or are different and
downloading any missing files. Icon positions, folder views, finder flags
and so forth are all corrected on the client Macintosh to match the source
folder.
Although it is designed for student lab situations, it has also proven
useful in other circumstances, such as for setting up newly purchased Macs
or in testing or demo labs.

* Single log file on the system disk.
* Fixed problems with Alias resolution.
