Agreed wholeheartedly. Also a complete tutorial for absolute beginners would
be good. I hope this will become available with Revolution.

Re: chat

[EMAIL PROTECTED] :

 Anyone have a functional stack that allows two people to chat
 back and forth?


Here we go. The little chat stack has been re-shaped by one of our
students / trainees.

The stack (and its tutorial) can be downloaded at :

   http://www.netchampagne.com/MetaCard/Direct_Chat.zip
   http://www.netchampagne.com/MetaCard/direct_chat.mc
   http://www.netchampagne.com/MetaCard/Tutorial.txt
http://www.netchampagne.com/MetaCard/Direct_Chat.zip


It will stay there until the end of the week.

For use on Mac, you have to set the right file type  creator first.

Comments  questions welcome.

Just a test

2001-06-05 Thread Raymond E. Griffith

Of whether or not I have actually been resubscribed to this list. Somehow I
have gotten bounced off and I want back on.

I really enjoy the list. I want it back.

Using URL to work with files

2001-06-05 Thread Gregory Lypny

Hi Everyone,

I discovered the URL method of file manipulation (yes, I'm a little 
slow).  If I put a file into a container as in

put URL (file:  tPath) into tVariable

do I need to close the file in a subsequent statement?

Regards,

Greg

Re: attachment in email

2001-06-05 Thread andu

I thought I send this message but it didn't show on the list.

The problem is not in the script you posted.
Try this: replace  write data  to socket socketY with

if the length of data =4096 then
write data  to socket socketY
else
put char 1 to 4096 of data into tChunk
delete char 1 to 4096 in data
write tChunk to socket socketY with message nextChunk
end if
repeat while tWrite is empty #declare tWrite
wait for messages
end repeat
__
and add this handler:
_
on nextChunk
if length(data)4096 then
put char 1 to 4096 of data into tChunk
delete char 1 to 4096 in data
write tChunk to socket socketY with message nextChunk
else
 put data into tChunk
write tChunk to socket socketY
put true into tWrite
end if
end nextChunk

recording sound

2001-06-05 Thread Mark

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: re: Sound recording?
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 00:42:11 -0400
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have seen a couple of posts that mention recording sounds in MC 2.4
beta, but on the MC FTP site though only parts of the 2.4 beta seem
available.

I assume I cannot use these with the 2.3x environment because when I
try MC complains about the format of the command.

eg., I try record sound x and get errors about missing (, bad
form, missing ,, bad parameters etc etc.

So, where can the 2.4 development environment be downloaded from?
ftp://www.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4


I downloaded it (again), and on the PC side I get mc.exe, mctools.mc 
and a readme file, and everything sort of seems right, but on the mac 
side I just get the engines (I presume) MetaCardcarbon, MetaCard PPC, 
and the mstools.mc and readme file.

Is the development environment for Mac side omitted by accident or 
design? I'm really wanting to have a play with the Mac side this 
weekend if I can.


  I've also seen references to a recordsound.mc stack written by Tuviah
- is this open source?
Actually it's just simple demo stacks, which I posted so people can see
the syntax to various new features in the 2.4 release, and most
importantly report any bugs that they find to MetaCard Corp so they can
be fixed while in beta. I'll probably trash it after 2.4 goes to final
release..or move it somewhere else (AOL FTP space is limited).

ftp://members.aol.com/tuvsnyder/mcdemos/

At first I couldn't get the stack to work. I was a bit lost until I 
tried  record sound x in the message box and got back a Quicktime 
couldn't initialise or similar error, which tells me I have to 
install quick time for Windows first :-)

I'll do that this weekend, and if I'm lucky enough to get the Mac 
side working, I'm sure I'll have fun this weekend :-).

Thanks for your help (and the stack),

Mark

CGI nightmares

2001-06-05 Thread Raymond E. Griffith

I have been wrestling with the POST command for some time now with little
success.

Here is what I want to do. I want to have a MetaCard/Revolution program sent
a POST to a URL containing field data. The URL is a CGI that should receive
the data and email it back to me.

Is this so hard to do?

I'm having a hard time not saying bad words over my lack of success.
*%%$**!!!

Any kind suggestions would be appreciated.

Raymond
