Howdy,
This is a little application that will alter the MacTCP driver to
incorporate Peter Lewis' patch. You will need a virgin copy of MacTCP,
version 1.1.1 for this process. MacTCP 1.1.1 is not included in this
upload -- it is a commercial product. I also understand that this problem
is fixed in MacTCP 2.03 and the upcoming MacTCP 3.
Please report any problems to [email protected]. Many thanks to Peter for
providing the patch information in the first place and Michael Hecht for
the splendid utility ResCompare that compiled this patch.
