I've gotten a hold of both sized_io and auth. I've been working with
sized_io for a bit, and generally like the size of it... nice and small.
However, I have some questions about it:
(1) I have accounts on machines that do not have the 68010 libs,
are there any substitutes?
(2) Is there a handy way to get a list of all clients, so as to make
a broadcast message?
I just recently decided I would see what auth could do for me... and
unfortunately it, like a lot of other handy tools, require access which I
do not have... Any suggestions?

You can delete all references to 68010. That was just a hack to produce code acceptable to both 68010 and 68020 at the same time. If you are producing separate libraries, sized_io is portable to any (reasonable) architecture as it does the necessary byte-swapping itself. > (2) Is there a handy way to get a list of all clients, so as to make > a broadcast message? You may not have realized it, but the 2nd argument you pass to select_server_stream is exactly a list of all clients.

Get a MacArthur, and see how the fame grows? Peace, dNb P.S. Yes, I know what the poster meant, it's a little humor (very little).

Any suggestions? Well, you could ask your sysadmin to install auth. You can use it, though, without any of the RFC 931 security features; just define AUTHDIR as a directory of yours, and don't worry about authd. ---Dan
