I was hoping one of you developers could help me. What tools do I need to write a TCP/IP program for the MAC? I've looked at the APDA catalog and I can't figure which of the packages I need. Do I need "MacTCP", "MacTCP Developer's kit", "Communication Toolbox"? What compiler can I use? Do I need MPW? Is anybody using Lightspeed C with MacTCP? Any direction would be appreciated.

What you probably want is the MacTCP Developer's Kit, which includes a programming manual and some example source code (for TCP/IP XCMDs for HyperCard). The kit is aimed at developers using MPW, but it shouldn't be too hard to change the header files so that they'll work with THINK C. The driver itself doesn't much care as long as it gets PBControl() calls with the right arguments... -- Amanda Walker <amanda@intercon.com> InterCon Systems Corporation -- Entropy requires no maintenance.

I am using THINK C 4.0 with MacTCP and it is working fine. There are just a couple of header file changes that you have to make (drop me e-mail if you want them) and it will work just fine. Personally, I am just using the evaluation kit, not the development kit, and am doing OK, but I'd imagine some examples would've been nice. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)

I have gotten enough request for the changes I have made to the MacTCP header files that I think I will post them here. There are only a few changes that I have made so far, but there may be others that I haven't used yet. In MacTCPCommonTypes.h, change the "ifndef/include" definition to look like this: #ifndef _MacTypes_ #include <MacTypes.h> #endif /* _MacTypes_ */ In UDPPB.h, comment out the word "pascal" in the declaration of UDPNotifyProc so that it looks like this (THINK C doesn't like a typedefed pascal funtion): typedef /*pascal*/ void (*UDPNotifyProc) ( StreamPtr udpStream, unsigned short eventCode, Ptr userDataPtr, struct ICMPReport *icmpMsg); Do the same thing in TCPPB.h for TCPNotifyProc: typedef /*pascal*/ void (*TCPNotifyProc) ( StreamPtr tcpStream, unsigned short eventCode, Ptr userDataPtr, unsigned short terminReason, struct ICMPReport *icmpMsg); You will not be able to use these typedefs in your own programs; they are only to deal with other declarations in your header files. In your code, declare your notify procs as 'pascal void whatever' with all of the parameters as they are declare in the typedef. That's all I have found so far, except that in my copy of TCPPB.h, instead of the csCode for receive buffer return being TCPBfrReturn as documented, it was TCPRcvBfrReturn. I changed it to TCPBfrReturn. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
