You should not use the PowerPlant networking classes on OS X.
Especially on multiprocessor machines you will experience random
crashes. That problem is well documented.
OpenTransport is dead. It exists on OS X only as a compatibility layer
on top of the BSD sockets, This compatibility is good but not perfect
and that is the reason for the instability of the PowerPlant classes.
Network programming on OS X either means plain socket programming as it
is after all a UNIX system, or if you prefer a slightly higher
abstraction you can use CFNetwork and similar API.
CFNetwork etc. has miserable documentation but socket programming is
very well known. Stevens UNIX network programming book is the bible.

Hi Frank.
Best thing I can suggest is to get Metrowerks CodeWarrior incuding
PowerPlant. That includes example code on how to do what you want,
which you can lift. You can build a Carbon app that runs on OS9 as
well as OSX.
And I have nothing to do with Metrowerks (other than I'm a happy
customer of CodeWarrior v8 - never needed to spend money on the
upgrade to v9).

I am FINALLY back to Mac Programming, I have not programmed a Mac
since system 8.5
Can someone Please help me on what the latest protocal is being used
for tcp/ip networking? Last time I wrote this type of code for the
Mac, Open Transport was the standard.
Is Open Transport used for Mac X programming?
if so, does anyone have just a simple client and server code of a
small examples of a client connecting to a server and sending data
between the two on Mac X carbon using C ?
If not, what is the Standard for TCP/IP networking? and would anyone
have just a simple connecting that is made between a client and
server programs that sends data back and fourth?
And please can anyone tell me where I can get references to the
standard above? I am in a wheel chair and do most of my work in bed,
it is hard for me to use html source as information, It is much
easier for me to have a pdf to print, or a book.
I hope this wasn't to much to ask in this group.
Thank You So Much
Frank LaLone
