Follow along as I puzzle out this question. I believe the problem has something to do with mismatched network protocols.


I run a HyperCard stack in the kitchen on OS8, which is used to collect information I want to gather to my iBook. Running a stack in Classic on the iBook, the stacks communicate successfully, in Hypertalk of course, and the iBook stack even passes the info along in Applescript, to the OSX apps on the iBook.

I am trying to rewrite the iBook stack to run in OSX. I have tried a bit in xCode, ran into some problems, tried a bit in Revolution, ran into a problem, tried again in xCode and now am running into this same problem of communicating, seemingly across OS's, with protocols that don't seem to understand each other.

The errors generated in Revolution were the -1701 error, an apple event error, and 'No Such Program'. Leading me to believe it was a filepath specification problem Unix vs Mac styles.

G3 Chooser shows Quadra 700 only. Quadra Chooser shows only G3. This is for course Appletalk. IBook, of course, shows both computers in Network browser window.

Aha! choose URL showing File Servers

property u : " "

set u to choose URL showing File servers
--mount volume u as user name "MyName" with password "MyPassword" --works of course
--choose application --works
tell application "Finder" of machine u to beep --could not establish connection to host


Hmmm.....?

 And can I do it without mounting the disk?

I can't refine this question enough to search the archives, cause I ma jus tnot sure what the question is...
