[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Wanted: TCP/IP XCMDs

arch_ems@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (08/03/89)

Folks:

I am developing a specialized Hypercard front-end to
a data server running on a Sun 4.  I would like to connect
the machines over ethernet -- has anyone done this?
Does anyone know of commercially or shareware XCMDs?

Thanks.

The HyperCard MacTCP Toolkit will be available shortly from A.P.D.A. (if 
it isn't already available). This includes XCMDs to interface from 
HyperTalk to Apple's MacTCP TCP/IP driver, plus an example stack that acts 
as a front-end to netnews (via which I'm now typing this reply) if you 
have an NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) server available on your 
net, plus the full source code for all the XCMDs.
