The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, Macintosh Cross-Development Addon, versions 4.0, 4.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When transferring a PowerPC application file to a PowerPC Macintosh using
AppleTalk, from Windows NT 4.0, the following error may occur:

  MF1012: remote request failed

CAUSE
=====

This is a bug in the AppleTalk transport layer of the Macintosh components of
the Visual C++ Cross-Development Edition for Macintosh.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use TCP/IP for transferring files.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following error is generated when using the AppleTalk protocol shipped with
Windows NT 4.0 to transfer a PowerPC application built using Visual C++ for the
Macintosh to a PowerPC Macintosh:

  Copying build results to remote machine...mymac:myvolume:myapp
  fatal error MF1012: remote request failed
  Error executing mfile.exe.
  myapp.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

In addition, the Visual C++ Power Mac Debug Monitor will hang after 15/20K of
data has been transferred. In some cases, the system may hang; in other cases,
the transfer process may hang. For small executables, the application file may
transfer completely but the application may be corrupted and crash as a result.

This problem does not occur with 68K applications that use the Visual C++ File
Utility instead.
