TOPIC


    After installing System 7.5 Update 2.0 on my Power Macintosh 8500, I noticed the file "MacTCP DNR" in the System Folder. I'm not sure whether it was there before. As I recall, MacTCP DNR was a preference file before installing System 7.5 Update 2.0. Now the icon is different, and the file type is listed as control panel. Double clicking on it says that it is used by MacTCP.

    Do I need the MacTCP DNR file, and what does it do?

DISCUSSION


    MacTCP DNR is a special file that contains resources for TCP applications written for System 6.0.x. It's placed at the root level of the System Folder because older applications expect it to be available there, like older System 6.0.x control panels.

    The file type/creator may have changed to control panel to reflect it was a control panel under System 6.0.x. You should leave the file installed in the event you come across an older TCP application that requires it. If you do remove it, the MacTCP DNR file will be recreated automatically after you restart your computer.
