The gist of the problem is as follows. I have a driver which is opened at startup by an INIT; this starts up Appletalk (MPPOpen,ATPLoad,NBPLoad), opens a general socket (accepts calls from 0,0,0) registers a name using that socket and starts a non-blocking ATPGetRequest. Then, at accRun time, I look at the abResult field to see if it has finished. It never does. I have another Mac on the same Localtalk and using one of those peek programs can see my other device actually trying to talk but the request never gets thru. I have a previous version which was compiled with MPW 2.x which works fine; the new version (which admittedly has some other changes but none I can see would affect me) compiled with MPW 3.x doesnt work. Was there any change to the appletalk interfaces (I am using the 'old-style') to fix bugs from MPW 2.x to 3.x? Is there anything else that might have got covered in Tech notes that I havent seen? Reply by mail please, I'll summarize if appropriate. Thanx in advance...
