If the NTP request succeeds or fails, the icon is updated to reflect the result. @@ -17,12 +30,13 @@ Prerequisites: - System 6 (I haven't tested on other systems) - MacTCP installed and properly configured (check that your connection works before trying this!) - Think C 5.0.1 +- SARez & SADerez (available at http://jcs.org/tmp/ResEdit_SADerez_SARez.sit) Setup: Think C 5 doesn't support the kind of multi-target project that combines both an INIT and a cdev, so we have to work around it. We need two projects, and we will first build a cdev (Control Panel Document), and then build a second project to inject the INIT resource into our cdev. 1.

Use the SARez tool to compile "MacNTP.π.r" into a resource file, name it "MacNTP.π.rsrc" - It's important you name it exactly that, and that it resides in the same directory as the project file created above, otherwise Think C won't find it. 5. Select "Build Code Resource" under "Project" to build the cdev document. Think C will then prompt you for a file name for the cdev document. cdevs and INITs are loaded in alphabetical order, so it is important you choose a name that comes after "MacTCP" alphabetically, as MacNTP depends on MacTCP being present. I usually name it "nMacNTP" to have it load last. Save this file somewhere, and close the MacNTP project.
