    Error When Compiling a Hello World in MW C/C++

    I would suggest you have to include an ANSI C library in the project. Also make sure you are building some form of console program, what you have is not how traditional Macintosh programs are written.

    CFPlugInCOM.h

    Good news, after dropping SOMobjects, Apple have decided to adopt a language independent object model, ie COM and is even available on the iPhone. Bad news, how did they manage to screw up IUnknown::QueryInterface so badly? The normal COM passes the IID as a pointer, what did Apple do? Some...

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    No, telnet is spawned by inetd. We are talking purely serial, so you would be coming into the machine using "getty".

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    Choose a client application you want to run on the 128k. Determine the protocols it uses over the serial link. Plug the serial link cable into both your MacOSX and 128k box. Respond to those requests from the MacOSX box. Now, what is the client app that talks over a serial port? For example if...

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    I thought you had a Mac OS X box in between? User -> Mac Terminal -> Serial Port -> cable -> RS232toUSB -> USB port -> getty -> login -> bash -> mail -> SMTP -> TCP/IP -> ethernet -> ADSL -> cable -> provider -> internet

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space. You don't have Communications Toolbox or MacTCP so somebody, somewhere is going to have to crank up MPW. So install MacTerminal and...

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    To do any expanding of the funcationalilty of the 128k like you describe you are going to have to do real programming ( Pascal, C or assembler ).

    Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet?

    Just use a terminal emulator! Alternatively you could do a cut-down IP stack with PPP and minimized POP3 client.

    Best Mouse you used?

    I have to agree. Being an original Mac user I agree with the "one button is best" because you can never push the wrong button, but also being an X11 user, I like three button mice, it wasn't until scroll-wheels came along that every two button mouse effectively became a three-button mouse, you...
