URGENT: where to get the externals collection? (solved)
Hello all, I just got a reply from Michael Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and he told me the licence was free. Just mail him for a code.

Having something > like that built in is overkill, I think. Sure, I thought about writing my own function for this already, but because the script would differ for each platform(), I think it's nice if this was built-in. Of course if I'd really need it, I'd write a function myself, but... you know a little step closer to perfection of MC. See?

URGENT: where to get the externals collection?
Hello all, This is quite urgent because my client is waiting for it to come every minute it takes longer for me to get it... (right?) I'm searching for a way to register the externals collection. I used the built-in payment module of the downloadable MetaCard Externals Collection Stack, submitted it, and didn't receive answer until now. Tuviah Snyder told me that it was free by now and told me to request a key. When I asked him 'where?' he didn't answer (no problem Tuviah, I'm just in a hurry, see?) So: Where can I get (or buy) a key for the Externals Collections? Thank you all very very very very very much for anything that could be helpful, Sjoerd Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.
Talking Java...
I've got some Java code I'd like to "call" from MC. What would I need to do to get MC to call this code and return results on my ISP's Linux server? Are we talking beans here? Or can it be simpler than that? It seems like the Java guys are taking forever beanifying their projects. Anything to stop me learning Java -:) Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.
