                             OTNotifyProcPtr proc)

DESCRIPTION

The OTRegisterAsClient function registers your application as an Open Transport client. This function provides Open Transport with a pointer to your notifier function that it can call when port transition events occur. It also provides a user-readable name Open Transport can use when it delivers messages about these events to the user. This function is optional; if you do not want to receive these events, you do not have to call this function.
