Has anyone used the "HyperAppleTalk" set of XCMDs/XFCNs by Donald Koscheka? (They give easy AppleTalk/ADSP access to stacks and are available from APDA) We use them here, but have had some problems with the ADSP suite (the ATP suite seems to work fine). In particular, different networks produce completely different results. Sometimes the XCMDs work, sometimes they don't. I can be more specific if anyone has had similar problems. Also, has anyone gone to the bother of converting these things to the "new" MPW C (or at least added STR# resources)? As it stands, there are a million 'STR ' resouces that must be moved around with the XCMDs. Annoying... Thanks, dank

I have been in contact with Donald, and he is in the last stages of testing a NEW 2.0 suite of XCMD's called "multitalk" I will be getting a copy to look at within the next few weeks. I have used the ADPA XCMDs here for about 6 months on version 1.2.5 with out any problem. If you check out December 89 MacTutor there is a stack in there that set's up a HyperAppleTalk Event loop which is the most stable way of handling AppleTalk I have seen >Thanks, >dank > Jer, ----- Jerome Jahnke University of Arizona Dept of Molecular and Cellular Biology "jahnke@brahms.biosci.arizona.edu" (602) 621-3820
