Re: Re: mail with MC
I'd go for working with you guys on producing a robust cross-platform email client. I've added an outliner and some complex filtering, and am still working on it. There is heaps I'd like to add... andu wrote: Is there any interest in a more or less complete E-mail program I wrote ?

Re: mail with MC
Hi Andu, of course we are interested. I am sure everybody on this list is really hot to see that script. But maybe they are too shy to express themself :-) So please post it somewhere. I'm sure Kevin of Runtime Revolution (formerly X-Worlds Computing) will put it somewhere on their server. (If he finds the time ;-) Regards from another place in germany (Hi Christoph :) Klaus Major P.S. to some of you: Please folks, stop quoting tons of text. I noticed a couple of posts consisting of nothing but quoted text. ??? Please, please, please...

RE: RE: MetaCard based browser?
SCORM stands for Sharable Couseware (or Content) Object Reference Model This initiative, headed by the ADL Co-Laboratory in Orlando, has far-reaching implications in how training is provided within the military in the coming years. SCORM aims to establish guidelines to: Exploit existing network-based technologies Create platform-neutral, reusable courseware and content Promote widespread collaboration to satisfy common needs Enhance performance with emerging and next-generation learning technologies Develop common framework that drives COTS product cycle Establish a coordinated implementation plan. Before I did the research to answer your question, I thought this was an industry-wide attempt to set standards for developing computer-based training and student tracking devices. I had not realized it was "merely" a DoD initiative. Hope this helps! Lori C. Fraind Delex Systems, Inc.

What's a SCORM when you find one? I found out today that in April 2001, the Department of Defense will be issuing a directive that all future training development must be WBT and SCORM compliant. I hope MetaCard will qualify as a Web-Based Training mechanism. (It's my understanding that the SCORM part is the responsibility of the developers).

Scott Rossi [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, on 8/4/00 6:14 PM: If your goal is to create a new standard for page description, then maybe you have a reachable (and laudible) goal, but for current HTML, I would suggest taking a step back and evaluating if you really have that kind of time available. I agree. Limited compatibility with existing pages is fine, but if this quixotic quest has any chance (let's face it--against Microsoft, a snowball has a better chance in...) then the focus has to be on downloadable stacks/scripts as "pages." I can see it now--little badges everywhere on the web saying "This site best viewed in MetaCard!" This morning, www.warnerbros.com said I had to have Netscape or Internet Explorer, _and_ Flash, in order to use their site at _all_ What a thrill it would be to have some major site do a slight twist on that, and tell me that I needed the free MetaCard viewer to access their site...sorry, I was daydreaming for a moment there... gc, who still thinks this idea could be great fun...

Write File Anamoly on Windows
I thought our tiny internet portal stack was all "pau" as they say in Hawaii
(over, finished) but the following script which works on a Mac doesn't work
on a PC
on mouseUp
create directory "mcPrefs"
if fld "tProxyIP" is empty then
put empty into line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
else
put "Proxy Settings" ","fld "tProxyIP" ":" fld "tProxyPort" into
line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
end if
checkForProxy
show Button "Enter Proxy"
hide group "ProxySet"
end mouseUp
on checkForProxy
set the httpproxy to item 2 of line 1 url
("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
end checkforProxy
What is happening is that on a Mac if I fill in the proxy and port fields,
and hit the button on the top it creates a directory called "mcPrefs" and
this line:
put "Proxy Settings" ","fld "tProxyIP" ":" fld "tProxyPort" \
into line 1 of url ("file://mcPrefs/proxyPrefs.txt")
will open and write a file and close it, even if the file does not exist to
start with (the syntax implies a file exists, but it doesn't need to, at
least on a MAC.)
but, on the PC, it doesn't write a file to disk. It does create a directory,
but if you check inside the folder there is no "proxyPrefs.txt" file there.
Anyone have a clue? Why would it work on a MAC and not a PC?

Rant
OK, I'm sitting at home working on a proposal for a client that will involve some multimedia development in MC. It should be a nice little project, a holiday greeting disc from a winery and an online music company. Part of the project will involve superimposing some elegant antialiased typography on top of suitable holiday images. After contemplating the methods available to achieve this effect, it occurs to me that the most efficient way to pull this off would be to overlay masked images of the type on top of the holiday images, so both type and image could be swapped and animated at will. But once again, reality dawns and I go through the old ritual of banging my head against the wall because I realize I'm going to have to build all the imagery as animated GIFs. If only MC supported object translucency, I wouldn't have to jump through hoops every time I do this type of project. Meanwhile, the MetaCard slogan, nay, rallying cry, keeps echoing through my head: "There's a better way to do that." I'm still waiting for that better way.
