This group seems to be dealing primarily with Mac <--> Mainframe
applications but perhaps someone might know?

I am using Borland's Turbo Pascal to write a program using Appletalk.
To say the least, the information included inside of the Turbo manual
is minimal (how to include the code, what is defined, and copyright
infringments).

I have typed in the Name Binding Protocol code from Inside Macintosh
Volume II (pp. 302 - 303) making it a procedure.  All variable
declarations are self-contained within said procedure.  The only other
change involved nbpNameBufSize which wasn't defined for TP.  It is
defined below as suggested by Han@Apple.UUCP.  The code appears to
work up until the extraction of returned information--Error -3104
{ExtractErr}.

Han@Apple.UUCP thought that it should be as follows (His suggestion
fixed an earlier hanging system problem on 512Ke's on a MacServe
network when compared to a non-MacServe network, Thanks Han).  The
error now consistently appears each time it is run which is much
prefered to a hung system:

{from Vol. II p. 302}
...
with myABRecord^^ do
	begin
	...
	{old line:  nbpBufSize := nbpNameBufSize;}
	{now the replacement}
	nbpBufSize := length(objstr)+length(typestr)+length(zonestr)+12;
	...
	end;
...

Any ideas, hints, or skeletons would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
