I need to write a some AFP server code, but the IM chapter (vol IV) says the system file only implements the client side of the protocol (in the .XPP driver, I guess) Were is the server side implemented? And how can a lowly programmer get it? I'm writing in Think 4.0 C, so I guess I'll have to make my own headers. That is a minor (I hope) concern. Anybody done any work with AFP? Thanks. -JT

There is a whole section on the AppleTalk Filing Protocol, complete with packet formats, algorithms, rights, etc. The book is published by Addison-Wesley and is the best reference on AppleTalk that I have seen -- probably because the guys who wrote AppleTalk are the ones who wrote the book! --- davids -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David Snearline | CAEN Operations/Mac Systems | | davids@mondo.engin.umich.edu | University of Michigan Engineering | | W: 3-3070, H: 971-5195 | 2853 Bellwood, Ann Arbor, Mich. |

sorry if I was unclear - I have Inside Appletalk (it's great) It's the _Software_ that I need, a driver or some such thing, I suppose. The people at APDA could not help me. :-( -JT

Write it yourself, or convince somebody who has done so to share the code...

The code to my SingleShare server is available.
Look at rascal.ics.utexas.edu or iraun1.ira.uka.de.
Be aware, however, that it's (a) Pascal and (b) somewhat MPW speciific.
NB: If you post a request to two groups, please cross-post instead of posting twice.
