Just to nail it down, this is correct: AppleTalk is not supported in
OT on Mac OS X (unless of course, you are running in Classic).
Source for AppleTalk libraries and commands used in Mac OS X is
available at the Darwin site (to see how to deal with AppleTalk
programmatically).
Just to be pedantic, actually a good portion of OT/AppleTalk *is*
supported
on OS X as long as you're a Carbon app. Little-used protocols like
ADSP aren't supported and there are a few subtleties to be sure, but I
can report that if you're crazy enough, you can still be a friend of
AppleTalk. :-)
Well, yeah, if you want to be pedantic :-}.
In fact, I have just had my recall recalled and updated: DDP, ZIP and
NBP are supported in Mac OS X's OT implementation (for browsing and
registration, if nothing else). So, Michael is correct: Some portion
of AppleTalk is supported, and if poking yourself with a sharp stick is
fun for you, working with AppleTalk, in this way, will be as well.

Justin
