MacTCP is a CDEV and driver that applications can use to talk TCP/IP on the Mac. You can buy it in several ways: $100 (or so) "MacTCP Development Kit" from APDA. Individual copy of MacTCP and documentation. $2000 (or so, list) user's site license. Right to use MacTCP anywhere in your organization. $5000 (or so, list) distribution license. Right to distribute MacTCP with applications you develop. My price info may be wrong. The license fees are (I think) yearly. I think Apple intends that developers of applications will buy the distribution license, and that end users will get MacTCP along with applications that use it. This is a bit of a problem for freeware/shareware authors, who can't afford $5000/yr in licensing fees. Note: you may be able to cut a deal with Apple on the fees, if they think your product has or will sell a lot of Macintoshes. Apple was very generous with UIUC because of NCSA Telnet. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
