A report of success for a change. [For comp.unix.xenix readers: The CAP package lets a Unix system become a file and print server for one or more Macintosh networks. It requires the use of a Kinetics FastPath or Cayman GatorBox for AppleTalk <--> TCP/IP protocol translation.] I've got CAP 5.0 working on a SCO Xenix/386 2.3 system with SCO TCP/IP. Of course, the filenames are truncated at 14 characters (*sigh*), but the system otherwise runs like a champ. Thanks to Columbia and Cayman, my Xenix system is now an AppleShare server. The port was fairly easy. Using SVr3 sighold() and sigrelse() instead of setsigmask() et al was no fun, and getting the locking to work was a bit hairy, but it's okay now. I wonder where I should send the CAP patches? Incidentally, I'd like to put in a good word for SCO TCP/IP, which apparently was done mostly by Lachman. It's great. The TCP/IP development kit is actually a BSD compatibility library, all the way down to index() and rindex(). -- Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.com> or <uunet!ateng!chip> A T Engineering Me?

domain? Shareware? How much does it cost? Has someone attempted a port to Ultrix 3.0 or AIX? Thanks for any help. Rainer Toebbicke CERN, Switzerland
