[comp.sys.mac.misc] Info needded: Status of MacTCP

weasel@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu (Michael Silano ) (03/04/91)

Hello all.

This may be one of those "stupid" questions, but here I go anyway.

I know that a few programs out there (TheNews, HyperFTP, NCSA Telnet 2.4B)
require MacTCP to operate.

Is MacTCP public domain, shareware, freeware, etc..  or is it 
copyrighted Apple software?

Thanks..

Mike Silano

It is copyrighted Apple software available from APDA for $100.  There are also licenses available to permit distribution with applications at $2500 for "internal-use" and $5000 for commercial-use.

Since Apple wrote it do you think they will give it away? It might be
bundled with the applications which require it. If not I'd call the
place where you bought the app and ask them how you can get it. If they
don't know, call the company who puts it out.
