PATHWORKS for Macintosh

The PATHWORKS for Macintosh MacTCP Administrator's Guide (January 1991) provides comprehensive instructions for installing and configuring MacTCP, Apple's implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The document is divided into three parts:

• Part I: Concepts introduces MacTCP, TCP/IP fundamentals, addressing conventions (IP, subnets, DNS, ARP, RARP, BootP), and routing concepts.
• Part II: Procedures details the configuration process using the MacTCP Control Panel and Administrator dialog box. It outlines various configuration scenarios, including manual setup, server-based configuration, and dynamic node assignment.
• Part III: Appendixes provides technical reference information, including host file syntax, troubleshooting, and lists of books and RFCs for further reading.

The guide is intended for network administrators responsible for maintaining MacTCP networks, enabling Macintosh computers to communicate across heterogeneous environments including IBM, DEC, Sun, and Apollo systems.
