[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HyperCard AppleTalk Toolkit Updates?

tom@wcc.oz.au (Tom Evans) (02/01/91)

I have a copy of the "HyperCard AppleTalk Toolkit v 2.5", which is
getting a little old (like April 1988). My Fall 1990 APDA catalogue
doesn't show anything newer though.

I need to generate/receive ATP packets from HyperCard, but these ones
won't quite do it, so I'm looking to see if they've been updated yet.

I need the capability of accessing devices in other zones, and more
particularly of getting the zone list. The Readme file provided with
the Toolkit states that "Future versions of the toolkit may add
support for zones". Has anyone added this yet?

Also, I need to generate/receive packets containing binary data, not
just printable ASCII. Thus I either need a version of these XCMD's
that can take/receive an encoded form (like HEX), or some other
XCMD/XFCN that can act to perform the translation for me. Has anyone
any suggestions on this?

Thanks.
