I got a program running that would recognize other machines on appletalk running the same program... Sending packets using ATP is a bit harder.... Please send me code too...

From the quoted portion of the post I'm quoting, it would seem that what you are both really interested in is peer-to-peer datastream communications. If that is the case, I'd recommend taking a look at ADSP rather than ATP. FTP to apple.com and dig around pub/dts/mac/sc; there should be some ADSP stuff up there. (If you have other Apple DTS sample code sources, such as the CD-ROM, then look there as well). __________________________________________________________________________ Paul Snively Macintosh Developer Technical Support Apple Computer, Inc. chewy@apple.com Just because I work for Apple Computer, Inc. doesn't mean that I believe what they believe, or vice-versa. __________________________________________________________________________

It comes with source for XCMDs which interface to the AppleTalk calls which can easily be adapted to standard Mac applications. It is available from APDA for about $25. ------------------------------- Robert Dominy NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
