A friend of mine has written a simple network database server that runs as a daemon on a UNIX box (SGI to be more precise) and a client that can modify the remote database. She would like to write a Mac client and was wondering how easy it was to use MacTCP to connect a Mac program to a UNIX socekt. Nathan Wilson Teleos Research nathan@teleos.com

You should use on the available socket libraries for the Mac. The one I know about is Novell's, and comes as a lib to "link" with using Think C. I suppose it's the best thing to use, since it's really unix-like, and works quite well if you don't want to receive UDP packets of more than 918 bytes (I think the edge is at 918 bytes, I don't remember), and maybe even that bug has been corrected now.
