The purpose of setting up CAP on GitHub is to build an AppleTalk protocol stack for OS X 10.6 and newer that is compatible with Classic Mac OS. That is, AFP-version up to 2.x and transport via DDP (despite Apple removing DDP from OS X since 10.6). This will enable AppleTalk networking with emulated machines running Classic Mac OS as well as printing on non-IP, AppleTalk-only printers.

They are, however, available for download at ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/util/cap/ (log in as guest) with the first patch substituted for a fixed version called 'asip1.patch'. In this therefore unofficial, though fully patched version of CAP 6.0 these patches have been applied in the required, above stated order on top of the patches 001 to 198.

CAP implements a library containing a portion of Apple Computer's AppleTalk protocols. In order to use this package you may need an AppleTalk/Ethernet bridge (e.g. Shiva FastPath, Webster MultiPort Gateway). CAP includes a number of applications that can be used to print to a LaserWriter, spool for a LaserWriter, and act as Unix based AppleShare compatible file server. CAP also includes a number of sample programs and contributed software. CAP library routines are structured, for the most part, the same as the Apple routines described in "Inside AppleTalk" and "Inside LaserWriter." Refer to the Apple documents and the procedure comments for a complete description of the routines and how to call them. Bill Croft's original work in this area provided the inspiration for CAP. Prerequisties ------------ o CAP as originally shipped needs a gateway capable of supporting IPTalk (the transmission of AppleTalk DDP packets inside IP UDP packets) to translate (gateway) IPTalk packets to/from EtherTalk or LocalTalk. Suitable candidates include ... * Webster MultiPort Gateway * Cayman Gatorbox * Shiva FastPath * Cisco Router o This CAP version supports Native EtherTalk, UAR (Phase 1 or Phase 2) and Kernel AppleTalk, UAB (Phase 1) on certain hosts. A gateway as listed above is only required to access LocalTalk services. o baseline host system: Ultrix 2.0-1. Most will work under BSD 4.2, BSD 4.3, Ultrix 1.0-1.2, Sun OS 3.2 or higher, ACIS 4.2, A/UX, IBM RISC 6000, IRIS/IRIX, HP/Apollo Domain (BSD environment), OSF/Alpha, 386/BSD, FreeBSD and other systems with BSD like networking facilities with varying levels of functionality. Under certain systems, only portions will work. Where ----- CAP can be obtained by anonymous FTP from munnari.OZ.AU mac/{cap60.pl100.tar.Z,cap.patches/*} ftp-ns.rutgers.EDU pub/cap/{cap60.pl100.tar.Z,cap.patches/*} gatekeeper.DEC.COM pub/net/appletalk/cap/{cap60.pl100.tar.Z,cap.patches/*} ftp.kuis.kyoto-u.AC.JP net/cap/{cap60.pl100.tar.Z,cap60.patches/*.Z} src.doc.ic.AC.UK packages/multigate/{cap60.pl100.tar.Z,cap.patches/*} Please choose an appropriate site and an off-peak time for the transfer. The patches are available individually or as the files "patches.1-100.tar.Z", "patches.101-126.tar.Z", "patches.127-143.tar.Z", "patches.144-154.tar.Z", "patches.155-162.tar.Z", "patches.163-182.tar.Z" & "patches.183-192.tar.Z". Additionally, for new users, a partially patched source file is available as "cap60.pl100.tar.Z" (beware: the file cap60.tar.Z is totally unpatched). Patches ------- To make the process of patching easier, you should get the 'patch' utility written by Larry Wall, it is normally available from sites that archive comp.sources.unix in volume7/patch2 and at GNU archive sites as patch-2.1.tar.gz (which requires gzip-1.2.2.tar for unpacking). For each of the patches, run 'patch -p < cap60.patchNNN' from the top level cap60 directory, for example, in csh foreach i (cap60.patches/cap60.patch*) patch -p < $i >>& /tmp/patches end and check the /tmp/patches file for patching errors (look for the strings "rej", "failed", "offset", "fuzz" - should be none). To remove the *.orig files that patch leaves behind (containing the original version of the file), run 'make spotless' from the top level directory (note that spotless also removes all makefiles so gen.makes needs to be run to regenerate them). Information ----------- There is no CAP mailing list. Instead, notices and information about CAP are posted to the mailing list info-appletalk which is gatewayed with the USENET news group comp.protocols.appletalk. If you don't have access to comp.protocols.appletalk and have access to the ARPANET, you can get on the mailing list by sending mail to info-appletalk-request@andrew.cmu.edu. Information about CAP and related UNIX AppleTalk packages is available via the World Wide Web using http://www.cs.mu.OZ.AU/appletalk/atalk.html The CAP FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) file is available via FTP from munnari.OZ.AU as the file mac/CAP.faq Documentation ------------- Important documentation resides in: doc/install.ms - stepwise installation document: assumes you have read NOTES and this document doc/print.cookbook - simple steps to implement CAP printing man/* - UNIX manual entries for the various CAP programs NOTES - installation notes: READ THIS BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION PORTING - notes on porting CAP to machines it doesn't know about What's in CAP ------------- The Columbia AppleTalk Package consists of a number of libraries, a number of programs, and associated documentation. Following is a list of the main parts along with a brief description. o NOTES for a general overview of installation and some overview material. o PORTING for information about making CAP work on systems not listed in NOTES netat - general header files used by various parts of CAP man - man pages for some of the programs doc - documentation lib/cap - main appletalk libraries: ASP, PAP, ATP, NBP, DDP lib/afp - generic AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) routines lib/afpc - AFP client libraries lib/xenix - compatibility routines for XENIX use etc - support programs: only atis - support program for NBP extras - code and materials not necessarily related to AppleTalk samples - sample programs: allow simple interaction with lw, appleshare server, etc. See README there. contrib - contributed programs support - alterative LAP delivery support, Native EtherTalk, Kernel AppleTalk and UAB. applications - main applications. The following programs in applications are in regular use at Columbia and are a main part of the reason we work on CAP: papif - UNIX lpd "input" filter for spooling to appletalk - also includes sample "output" filter and printcap entry - Note: this is a very bare bones filter lwsrv - Simple LaserWriter spooler suitable for extension aufs - AppleTalk Filing Protocol Unix File Server NOTE: You must have the AppleShare 1.1 or 2.0 client code installed in your Macintosh to use this. You must obtain this from Apple - we do not and do not plan to supply this. The client code is a lot of work and Apple's already done an excellent job here. Bug Reports ----------- Send bug report, comments, etc. to cap@munnari.OZ.AU or uunet!munnari!cap Notes ----- Hasn't been througly checked out on any system except Ultrix 2.0 & SunOS. It it known to have run or should be able to run under: BSD 4.2, BSD 4.3, Ultrix 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.2, Sun OS 3.2 or higher, Pyramid's Unix under the BSD universe, ACIS 4.2 or 4.3 for the IBM RT PC, A/UX, HP-UX for the series 9000 (release 6.0), Convex Unix V6.1, Sequents, IBM AIX on the RISC 6000, Silicon Graphics IRIS/IRIX, HP/Apollo Domain (BSD), OSF/1 Alpha, 386/BSD, FreeBSD and the Encore Multimax. LAP - will probably never be implemented DDP - don't try to use it directly Documentation - in shorter supply than it should really be TODO list --------- a) Complete NBP - completed. b) Complete PAP - completed. c) Complete ATP - completed. d) Complete DDP - essentially completed, but some minor parts missing. e) Complete ASP - completed. f) Start AFP - client side needs to be redone, server side okay. g) Start ZIP work. KIP modified to allow under rev 1/88. h) Start RTMP work. Not need under KIP. i) miscellanous other fixes and cleanup Credits ------- Thanks to the User Services staff at Columbia University Center for Computing Activies for patiently testing all the broken software that was foisted on them as "working" with special thanks going to: Rob Cartolano for testing Aufs beyond the call of duty Alan Crosswell for making papif die more than anyone else and letting me use his RT.
