Hi,

Does anyone have sample AppleTalk code? Right now I'm interested in these 
toolbox functions:

OTATalkGetMyZone 
OTATalkGetLocalZones 
OTATalkGetZoneList

ADING447-0

I want to write a simple app to send text to a print server for printing 
using AppleTalk.....I see some raised eye brows, some smirks, some people 
gasping.....but come on, we sent a guy to the moon 31 years ago. There MUST 
be a way to use AppleTalk!  Just hope I don't have to spend billions and hire 
hundreds of thousands of people to do it. :o

To  start with I want to just try and see the print server on my 
network....then I can attempt trying to communicate with it.

I have set up a web site with more info about my project....
http://www.acmenet.net/~jeffny/AppleTalk/print.html
   (and http://www.acmenet.net/~jeffny/AppleTalk/screens.html)
.....if anyone wants to look and/or make suggestions....

I have some other projects in mind that would use AppleTalk so this will be a 
good learning experiance (I hope).

Thanks,
Jeff-
