Summary: Lots of questions

Question for all the Appletalk experts in this group.  What are you using
for development?  Is MPW the way to go or is there "a better way."  Do
you suggest Pascal over C?  Is MacApp any help when it comes to Appletalking?

Is it possible to write the bulk of a socket listener in a High level lang.?
Or is assembly all there is?

If you write a driver above ATP and use asynch calls, will the system
definitely show your driver all the network events first?  Have I got this
right?  Is there some way you can insure your driver will get time if a
application is not calling systemTask; without a VBL proc.

Here is a real simple one that I haven't found the complete answer for yet.
How do you get you're driver installed in the System Heap so it isn't as
transient as the application?  Is it just a matter of setting the bit in
ResEdit?  Is there anything wrong with an Init loading the driver (into
the system heap)?

Well, as if that isn't enough, that's all for now.  I would really appreciate
some answers from the experts out there.  Mail me with answers and requests to
see the answers and if there are enough of both, I'll post 'em.  Thanks.
