Basic LlamaTalk	v1-11/25/95	by Jim Schram	for Newton ToolKit 1.6
	category: Endpoints
	keywords: LlamaTalk LlamaShare AppleTalk ADSP MNP Echo Server State Machine
	description: Updated LlamaTalk sample for use with Newton 2.0 protoBasicEndpoint.
		
		The Newton component is a simple front-end which demonstrates sending and receiving transactions of various data types.  It makes calls to a protoLlamaTalk user proto which is an encapsulation of EVERYTHING needed to handle ADSP and MNP communications reliably.
		
		The Mac component is a simple back-end which receives transactions and echos back a "hex dump" of the transaction data.  It makes calls to a robust multiple-client communications library built on top of the Mac CommToolBox.  ALL I/O is asynchronous and interrupt-driven.  The library uses no globals and can be called from within an Application, Control Panel, Init, XCommand, 4D External, etc. etc.
