Does anyone know of a way to automatically publish and mount volumes on an appletalk network running Tops? Or of a way to do these tasks from your own code? The desk accessory is nice, but we want the application to have access to remote volumes without user intervention. I think that this may be possible with the software that Tops distributes for MS-DOS machines, but I don't know how to do it on the Mac.

There is a PD program called TOPS Boot which you can configure with ResEdit. Tops Boot opens the Tops driver and stuffs events down it's throat. This is a hack, but it works. I believe it is on SUMEX and anywhere that archives comp.binary.mac. Cheers, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Science Department Mark A.

I'm using sequencer (from sumex) as the startup application, set up to first
call TOPS Boot and then call in Oasis (a finder replacement). It all works.

There are a few options: 1- Use Tempo - a commercial macro program 2- Use TopsBoot - a shareware (?) program I couldn't get to work. 3- Use QuicKeys - another commercial program 4- Wait about two weeks for the release of TOPS 2 (or II). It'll have that ability and more (zones, etc.). And it's a free upgrade for owners of the current version (the one with TopsSpool bundled). -- Maurice Weitman ..!{dual,hplabs,lll-crg,ptsfa,glacier}!well!mo | <- this is not a pipe POBox 10019 Berkeley, CA 94709 (415)549-0280 Quote: "If we're not listening, we'd have to be pretty blind."
