[#]GlobalTalk chatter: what’s the AppleTalk equivalent of URLs?

On the Internet, we can use URLs like

ftp://user:password@server.example.com/path/toshare

to describe the location and type of a resource.

What’s the AppleTalk standard style for addressing, say, folder x, in folder y, in share z, on server a, in zone b, over protocol c?

user i and password j optional.

Old school style guides may need to be consulted.

Was there a standard? I have vague memories there was, google-fu failing.

@europlus You might also look through the documentation for the Columbia Appletalk Package, which was a generation earlier than netatalk. https://github.com/mabam/CAP/tree/master/doc

@europlus On the Mac, in that era, of course, there was nothing like a shell: stuff had to show up in the Chooser for you to be able to select it. I remember when you began to be able to use a URI to navigate to things and what a revelation it was.

@stevendbrewer Yeah, but I thought there might be a style used in manuals and/or magazines for specifying the hierarchy.

Maybe I dreamed it.

Maybe I still can dream it happens...
