Does anyone out there have any information that would help me figure out just
what is going on with the AppleLink Modem.CCL file (or CCL files in general,
actually). Our university has a modem pool, and it would be nice if we could
use that to connect to AppleLink instead of having to have a dedicated modem at each station.
Any information that I could get would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The .CCL file is nothing but a text file, BUT, its file type is not 'TEXT', its 'PETE'. It contains a custom programming language that I found pretty easy to understand. I modified the standard .CCL file to run with our Avatex modem after not too much work. I used ResEdit to change the file type to 'TEXT', ran a text editor on the file, and then changed the type back to 'PETE'. Larry Tepper, guest login at StorageTek

In fact, while you're debugging the CCL file, you can just leave the
type as 'TEXT'. The only time AppleLink cares about the type is when it
puts up the dialog that lets you pick which one you want to use...

Another trick is to hit Command-Option-E. This will bring up a text
editing window containing the current CCL file, so you don't have to
bother changing the file type.

A little-known "feature" of AppleLink is that when "working offline" you can type Clover-Option-E and get an editor window open on the currently- selected .CCL file. Changes can be saved using the "Save" menu command. Hope this helps. Note that since this feature is NOT documented anywhere I know of, my telling you this does NOT constitute an warranty that it will work now or ever. But if it does happen to work for you, it might save you some time. -- Alan Mimms My opinions are generally Communications Products Group pretty worthless, but Apple Computer they *are* my own... ...it's so simple that only a child can do it! -- Tom Lehrer, "New Math"

Apple has a long document on their CCL files. You could try digging a copy out of the AppleLink support group. -- "Have you ever wondered if taxation without representation was cheaper?" Julian "a tribble took it" Gomez julian@riacs.edu
