  I'm having a strange problem with Appletalk & Lightspeed C.

I am just doing some simple functions in Appletalk before diving into writing
a real program with it. I am
opening an ATP socket and giving it a name (NBP). These seem to go alright.
After doing this I immediately remove the name from NBP, which also
seems to succeed. But when I try to remove the socket with ATPCloseSocket,
I get an error -1099 (badATPSkt). This error also prevents me from opening
any more sockets if I rerun the program! (Error -91)  I think I am giving
it the correct numbers:
ATPOpenSocket(0L,&socketnum);    (Byte socketnum) (socketnum=0 initially)
and immediately
ATPCloseSocket(socketnum);
which returns -1099.
The problem occurs even when I don't use NBP.
I can create a socket again only after using the control panel to
turn Appletalk off and then on.  But the same problem reoccurs.
Setting socketnum to 0 should give me a dynamically assigned socket, but
it assigns socket 0, is this a legal socket?
Any suggestions?


-----By the way, reguarding the posting about the SFGetFIle problem,
the problem is that you must give SFGetFile a POINTER to the typelist, so
you should have SFGetFIle(apoint,NIL,NIL,2,&typelist,NIL,&reply);
