I have started using VersaTerm, which insists on having MacTCP in the Control Panels folder (really -- and having an alias there is NOT enough!). NCSA Telnet and HyperFTP both want it in the System Folder, of course. So I put a copy in both places, and it actually seems to work, so far. But...has anybody else tried this? Am I asking for big trouble? Thanks -- Russell owen@astro.washington.edu P.S. VersaTerm: lock the HOST file. Then VersaTerm won't stupidly archive the numerical address of everything in the HOST file.

Given the current state of the MacTCP resolver, it's not stupid to cache IP addresses. I'm not sure it's the right thing to do, but it's not stupid. The MacTCP resolver is what is stupid (or at least darn unpleasant). My calendar says it's the end of June; that's when our Apple reps said MacTCP 1.1 was coming out. Anybody heard anything lately? -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

Am I asking for big trouble? Being that the DNR stuff doesn't seem to require that you access the active copy of MacTCP, it should be OK. -=Dave "It takes a lot to get to infinity."
