Socket programming for OS 6 and 7
Posted by: samalex on 2012-03-21 14:47:43
If I can ever get my Mac SE going and on the Internet i'd like to start developing some Internet aware software for Mac OS 6 and 7. The last time I wrote anything for Mac OS 6 or 7 it was using ZBasic in the early 90's which I think evolved into FutureBasic.

At any rate what's involved in writing C or C++ apps or even Basic apps for OS 6 or 7 that are network aware? I'd like to look at coding simple apps that use various website API's to make some text-based content that's available on the WWW accessible from classic macs.

Thanks for any suggestions --

Sam
