There are several approaches to communicating between stacks on different
Macintoshes or creating a multi-user stack which uses a client/server
model.
* APDA (Apple Developer's Association) sells an AppleTalk Toolkit which
includes XCMDs, XFCNs, and source code to enable stacks to interact via
AppleTalk.
* epsiTalk 2.0 is a set of XCMDs which provide multi-user features. It
enables you to make a stack multi-user and also includes an E-Mail system,
real-time conferencing, and a mechanism to transfer files between
Macintoshes.
* HyperCard can send and receive do script Apple Events. By sending an
Apple Event to another Macintosh running HyperCard, it's possible to use
Apple Events to pass data and commands between Macintosh computers.
Refer to the Apple Event Primer Stack for more information.
