I am currently working on a Macintosh application that I would like to run over Appletalk. The goal is to have one "host" application which registers itself on the network and which can then receive and send data packets to other versions of the application running on other machines on the network. I have perused Inside Mac and Inside Appletalk, but what I'd really love is maybe a little sample code someone may have or a recommendation as to where to start to best understand what needs to be done. Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions... -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Peter Commons "Zut, alors!

How much data do you expect to be sending around? If it's small, look at using ATP. ATP is fairly simple and provides a straightforward ask-for-data/get-data-back model. If you're sending more data look at ADSP. It provides a very nice data pipeline between two programs, but does require a little more overhead (more buffer space). [You'll need to get the latest docs on this found in Inside Mac Vol VI] Good luck! -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- {apple,decwrl}!claris!outpost!peirce -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- and Consulting -- (408) 244-6554
