[comp.sys.mac.comm] System 7.0b4 and MacX

jblue@mitre.org (Jason D. Blue (Bilbo Baggins)) (04/04/91)

Any one got MacX to work with System 7.0b4?  Any tricks I should know?

I installed MacX, and placed the CTB MacTCP tool into the extension 
folder.  MacX loaded, but I got a System error 15 every time I try to open 
a connection to the UNIX system.

Using MacTCP 1.0.1, located in the top level of the System Folder.  All 
other MacTCP applications work fine, but I do not have any other 
applications that use the CTB.

MacX did work ONCE in 7.0b4, but only when I was running it from an AppleShare server that did not provide me with write access.

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Jason

I haven't tried MacX with 7.0b6 yet, but dosen't MacX require that you are
using MacTCP 1.0.2? I believe it (1.0.2) fixes some speed problems MacTCP had
with MacX, MacTCP 1.0.1 is "offically supported" for everything else.

Anybody from Apple out there what to confirm that?
