Outland TCP Tool
Copyright © 1994 Outland, Inc.

The Outland TCP Tool is a connection tool for the Communications Toolbox. It
uses the MacTCP driver to communicate over TCP/IP networks. The tool
supports synchronous and asynchronous open, close, listen, read, and write.
This is not a Telnet tool! If you want to connect to the Telnet port, 23,
you are probably not going to have much luck. The Outland TCP Tool provides
a raw TCP connection only.
In the settings dialog, you can enter an IP address and port number. If you
are using the tool to open a connection, the address and port number are of
the TCP port you are connecting to. If you are using the tool to listen for
an incoming connection, the address is ignored (it is always the local
machine), and the port is the port number to listen on. The port number 0
has a special meaning to the MacTCP driver; using it is not recommended.
You may be freely copy and use this tool for personal, non-commercial
activities. For all other uses, contact Outland.

Notes:
- Requires System 7 running on a 68020 or better Macintosh.
- To connect two ports on the same computer, your application may need to call
CMListen and CMOpen asynchronously. Otherwise the receiving application will
not get time to accept the call, and the system will hang.
- This release does not report errors to the user. Instead, a debugging file
is produced called "Code Resource Debug". If you are reporting a bug, please
include the contents of this file if it is in the same folder as your CTB
application.
- This release does not support timeouts or any CTB 1.1 functionality.
