[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Unknown error msg in TimeServer

elk@python.cis.ohio-state.edu (Edwin L King) (10/12/90)

  I'm running an rdev/INIT combination called Time Server on our
EtherTalk network. What it does is set one machine up as the "Time
Server." When the other machines boot, they sync their clocks with
that machine.
  Works great. Except on one Mac Plus.

  With that Mac (which has 2mb RAM, sys 6.0.5 and AppleTalk 53), I get
the following strange msg:

.MPP Driver version is less than 48 (NCVersion) (-9000)

  Unfortunately, I don't know what an .MPP driver is. So I don't know
what to change to update it.

  Would've put this on comp.sys.mac.apps or comp.sys.mac.system, but I
figured the programmers would be more likely to understand the error
msg.

Thanks.

(BTW: The guy who wrote time server put in a neat method of reporting
the error msgs. If the init loads OK, then you see the normal
associated icon, but if there is an error, instead of the icon you get
a little white box, and the text of the error message scrolls sideways
through the little box marquee-style. Now, if only I understood his
messages! :-( )

You may need the "AppleTalk" system file in your system folder.
