The creator of the app is ???? instead of XMPC, that's why the icon doesn't show.Oh, and if anyone can tell me why my custom icon isn't showing up, I'll be in your debt. I can't figure it out, and have spent way too much time on it. If you have ResEdit and know what you're doing, would you DL the app and take a look?

Thanks again.
Thanks Zydeco, that did it.The creator of the app is ???? instead of XMPC, that's why the icon doesn't show.
Mike, assuming Future Basic can do TCP, I'm sure it would have been much easier. At this point though, I'm have a lot of fun learning the Mac toolbox and pascal. Re-learning really. Hopefully the code will be faster for it, but with my skills, I can't guarantee itI have an old copy of FutureBASIC v1.03.
The whole program is only 168K and it is copyrighted 1994.
I'm not sure how much you could do with it. It will compile programs that run on a Mac Plus with 1 MB. The language is more BASIC like but you can still call the toolbox and do all that stuff so you can build full programs with it. It might be easier than using C or Pascal.
Inside Macintosh Volumes I-III are very useful. I'd recommend them since you can get them cheap. Search for them on Amazon. Volumes I-III can be found combined in one large hardback. I think it cost me less than $7 including shipping, so you might as well get it.Hi,From what I understand of this thread, I would need "Inside Macintosh" volumes 1-4... as well as a programming environment.
Where might I obtain hardcopies of IM like Nathan is using?
For early macs, pascal was the language of choice. Inside Macintosh has it's code examples in pascal. That doesn't mean you have to go with it.What would you recommend as a simple programming environment? Future Basic, Think Pascal / C, and MPW were mentioned.

I had a harder time locating, but I think I found one. We'll see when it gets here.Inside Macintosh Volumes I-III are very useful. I'd recommend them since you can get them cheap.

I'm seeing quite a number of books by D. Mark, and a few by both authors as well, on these subjects. Do you have an EXACT full book title or better, an ISBN number?The other book I would look for would be either of the "Macintosh Programming Primers" written by Dave Mark and Cartwright Reed. There's one for Pascal and one for C..
Does Inside Macintosh also presume MPW?For early macs, pascal was the language of choice. Inside Macintosh has it's code examples in pascal. That doesn't mean you have to go with it... I agree that Think Pascal and Think C are the way to go..
It'd be nice if I could target the 512k, but I also have an 8mb Plus.So your target is a 512k mac right? What will you be developing on? ..
I'm not up for that much punishment.If you're developing on the 512k, I don't know if that will work. Maybe you'll have to use version 3...
"Macintosh Pascal Programming Primer Volume I"Do you have an EXACT full book title or better, an ISBN number?
If it does, it doesn't matter. I've never found it to be an issue.Does Inside Macintosh also presume MPW?
As far as RAM goes, I haven't the faintest idea what would work when developing software on a 512. But as far as System Software goes, even on a 64k ROM 512, you can run all flavors of System 5. You simply cannot run System 6 or higher (despite what Apple's own web pages say on the matter).You'll have a very hard time developing on the 512K. ...need at least System 4.2
Yeah, I agree completely. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.I've probably said it before in this thread, and certainly in others, but I'm going to repeat myself. You do not need Inside Macintosh to learn to program a Mac, and indeed it is hard to learn from.
