I'm looking for some way of communicating from hypercard to my unix boxes. Does anyone know if the manTCP init (driver?) has enough to write xcmds to do this? Or perhaps these externals have already been written?? Any suggestions, please! -Rens rt2@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu

Hypercard xcmds have been written and (I believe) documented in a HyperTCP toolkit stack. I assume this stack is available on apple.apple.com. Many TCP based application stacks exist including HyperFTP and a news reader. Check /info-mac/cards at sumex.stanford.edu.

I don't know if it is available on apple.apple.com or not but it is available from APDA for $20. This doesn't include MacTCP itself which is another $100.

I have seen at least two different stacks that have TCP/IP XCMDS in them. One of them is one the latest Apple Developer CD. It has a TCP/IP XCMD, a trivial sample stack and source code. See if you can get it from Apple - its just a sample of how to use their stuff so distribution shouldn't be a bit deal.
