[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] LocalTalk Communication in HC 2.0 - How?

fore@athena.cs.uga.edu (Howard Fore) (12/13/90)

HELP! I need to know how to implement interstack communication across LocalTalk
using HyperCard 2.0. (Doesn't that sound impressive? :-)  )

I know what is available to do this under HC 1.2.x, but do these XCMDS work withHC 2.0? I also own the XCMDs put out by APDA but they are the older ones (i.e.,
before HC 2.0 was released). Do these still work with HC 2.0? If not, are they
being upgraded even as I speak (type/post)? Can I get mine upgraded if I'm stilla member? $$$$ or (dare I say it) Free?  Are there any other XCMDs/XFCNs to do 
this? Are they commercial or PD/SW? If they are PD/SW where can I get them?


Thanks in advance.

Re: Appletalk Communication with HyperCard 2.0. 

What XCMD's are you referring to which provided communication over 
AppleTalk to HyperCard 1.2x?
I'm aware of HyperCom, which has been updated to work with HC2. but would
be interested to hear of others.
If you're interested in HyperCom contact :
   GAVA Corporation   206 784 4736   AppleLink GAVA
   
If you know of other xcmds please let me know, as I'm looking for 
alternatives.

I have converted the demo stacks that came with the AppleTalk tools and ran
some test on an incomplete networked stack set.  In both cases success was at
hand.  But there was not enough testing to find out how compatible it will be.
 Any how APDA just listed something new that may or may not help us out called
'Hypercard Communications Tools' or something like that.  If you find out what
it is let me know.  I stuck on an island in the middle of the pacific and the
ship's slow in bringing in new matterial.
