I've been messing around with AppleTalk, or rather, trying to.
I can get things to work: once. The first time I run the program
things are fine and act as they should, but the second time BOMB!
If anyone can suggest something, I'd really appreciate it. Below is
a simple program that exhibits this behavior...

* AppleTalk.lib
* MacTraps
* stdio
* test.at.c

* You also need a resource file containing the 'atpl' resource found in
* the file :LightSpeed C:Mac Libraries:Resource Files:ATalk/ABPackage
* (this seems to contain the glue from Think for AppleTalk.

*
* Run it once and it seems to work just fine,
* but run it a second time and KAPLOWEE!!!

The new AppleTalk glue supplied as part of the 2.13 update does not require the ATPL resource and functions properly. -_Rich **The opinions stated herein are my own opinions and do not necessarily represent the policies or opinions of my employer (THINK Technologies, Inc). * Richard M.
