RE: Back Up Copy of Current Stack

2001-02-25 Thread Monte Goulding

What about reading the stack in then saving what you read in as the backup
file

RE: Overriding QT's behavior

2001-02-25 Thread Monte Goulding

I don't do much with quicktime but would putting the returnKey handler in
the player might do it. If you need it in the card script you could send it
to the card with the handler in the player.

RE: Disappearing Cursor

2001-02-25 Thread Monte Goulding

By the way if you're going to quit your app on startup after testing the
colorDepth then whatever you do dont show a dialog. You can't see the icons
or cursor so a novice user wuold need to force quit. This comment obviously
comes from personal experience ;-(

CGI on Windows (cmc.exe)

2001-02-25 Thread Monte Goulding

Hi

could anyone with the knowledge please give step by step instructions on how
to install cmc.exe on Windows 2000 to run .mt scripts? Sorry if this is a
big ask. Any info would be good as there are very few references to cmc.exe
in the archives.

Thanks in advance

Monte
