> Announcing patchlevel 0 of the long-awaited MacTCP driver for MacMiNT.
> Don't get your hopes up yet, though...  Features include:
> 
> * Compiles cleanly.  This took about a week of cleaning up my sloppy
>   code, which was how I spent most of my Thanksgiving break. :-)
> 
> * Installs at boot time.  (At least that's what the messages say...)
> 
> * I haven't had time to actually test it (beyond the fact that it
installs
>   without incident at startup), and may not for some time, since I am
>   about to start final exams for this term.  If it runs, great.  If not, 
>   too bad.  I will warn you: crashes are likely - expect them.
>   (translation: IT PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK :)
> 
> * Besides the fact that it may not work, there are numerous little things
>   (huge size, broken SOCK_RAW support, extra bcopy() calls, unreliability
>   with virtual memory, ugly source code, kludged pascal-type functions)
>   which I will need to clean up when I have time.  Test with care.
> 
> For the curious (and brave), the distribution is at:
> 
>     ftp://rpelkey.bates.edu/pub/macmint/tcp/macmint-tcp-pl00.tar.gz
> 
> I'd upload it to Suniams, but I'm not sure it works, as I haven't had
time
> to test and debug it properly.  Enjoy...
