Re: Does your MC crash too?
I don't think its an image problem since my MC also crashes when I just open the help stacks and click on the hyperlinks therein. I do think its an OS problem since MC 2.x was stable as could be on my IBM laptop and Mac 68030.

Re: Does your MC crash too?
Hi guys, since your message is from 13th - check if you have this W32.Blaster.Worm on your machine. regards eugen Not in my case: I've had this problem for a few months now actually. I really think, at least for me, it's an OS problem (Win 98) since under 95 and Macos I had no such problem. Further, the hyperlinks in my MC help stack work just fine - when i have the machine set to 4 bit color :~/ Might also therefore be a driver problem... I cannot imagine how the GUI would make the program unstable. The engine is rock solid. Nope, I think me and whoever else has this problem just needs a clean OS install try telling that to my old school sysadmin/secretary. That's what's lovely about academic secretaries - they're not in a subordinate role, which means _I_ have to lick her boots, and not the other way around (as in the private sector).

RE: Does your MC crash too?
Yes, I have a similar problem. I am told however that it is due to the memory management of the OS, which I believe since OS architecture was designed around supporting Kbytes of memory and drive space and now has to support Mbytes and GBytes. Not only HTML images but the MC help stacks also do this. Rev incidentally also does this, only more often! So I'm planning to get a mac rev license in the hope that this problem is confined to the PC platform. Ideas? I have not solved this problem because this is my work-machine and my sysadmin is already nervous enough about me knowing more about the system and trying to push it to its limits. So I don't want to get under her skin by saying Hey, can we do a clean install of the OS in case there is an OS problem?

Re: how to open an html file
the building blocks you want to work with are: ask file -- which invokes a dialog box which will allow you to choose the file you want to read open for read -- which lets you open the file you want to read (when your done reading be sure to use close file to avoid problems) you'll also need theHtmlText. The way I did this was to build a stack with one button and two fields. What you are going to do is read raw HTML into the one field, get that field's html text property and put that into your second field. You could of course do this with containers, but I prefer working with fields. You can set the visible field one (the field into which raw html is imported) to false. I'd recommend actually writing the routine yourself since you'll learn more and be able to do exactly what you want with the field. I have a stack here: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/downloads/developerdownloads/ENGLEMCRRStacks.zip that does this, it imports html, and lets you write it to a field. Have fun. If you wish to use it commercially please ask for a license. I'm an academic and need publication credit. I.e. the license you have is for personal use. If you want more contact me off list.

Re: memory leaks?
Sadly none of these is the source of the error. I've literally reinstalled a virgin copy of MC 2.5, deinstalled all earlier copies of MC and -still- had it crash. Oddly the help stacks are the best instance of causing the crash. The hyperlinks in the See also never function and cause the crash. I'm sure this must be an error on my machine - but where. The reason I think its my machine is that when I set my color depth to a joyous 4 bits (or was it 4 colors? Anyway, the lowest setting possible) the stacks function fine (though obviously with no color worth speaking of). I've tried cleaning my registry, disabling all autostart proggies, including antivirus, and running offline. I'm sort of at wits end here, though I can work around using basilisk and 2.2. This is actually why I didn't beta RR - I thought it was just an RR problem at first because for whatever reason RR crashes more frequently on my idiosyncratic machine. SO my question is, whatever could be the source of this idiosyncracy? Memory leaks? And what possible cures are there? (P.S. my machine has virus protection, and I never use outlook or address books so I doubt its a virus - otherwise other proggies would get bitten, and they don't). Avoid HTML text with images in fields - superbe feature, definite party crasher! (2.4) Yes, my experience too, though YMMV? In any event: Not the culprit. ImagesData manipulations can also wreak havoc... Will probably corrupt your stack too! (Any version which supports it) Not the culprit. Making 2 fields synchronize each other's VScroll will kill MC with lots of flashes while your flds scroll. (Any version) Not the culprit. Last but not least of my experience in crashing MC is the infinite loop trick. It's impossible to get out of it UNLESS you put in some statements to make MC work and thus look at the keyboard... (any version - you wanted execution speed?) Doesn't MC implement COMMAND PERIOD to stop scripts like a speeding bullet? Anyway, I do not think this is the culprit. The thing hangs on a clean install of MC 2.4 and 2.5 whenever I try to use the MetaCard reference stack and see also. Sorry to bug people this way, but I really am at wits end and would do my best to return the favor of advice.

RE: Fwd: altBrowser Question and MAC version of altBrowser...
Dropped the dll into c, and windows, and system and the desktop (where I have the executable for now). Works fine, even behind a firewall. Spits up cookies though, i.e. won't let me sign into yahoo (I don't regard that as a major problem though). Really, very good job, I'm seriously impressed. There is no way you could do that within metacard, right? It was all in the DLL? While I'm very familiar with macOS classic I'm still figuring out windows, to say nought of unix.

metacard bug?
I have a question - I'm behind a firewall (which I suspect of being dodgy - it often drops my AIM client...). And metacard is crashing and behaving oddly. I thought must be because of my having played with the home stack - ok, download clean copy of metacard - but the problem did not go away. Specifically MC freezes when I try to use the help documentations hyperlinks. It also sometimes does not react to metacard menubar commands. Anyway can someone confirm whether this could be caused by 1) dodgy firewall or 2) dodgy windows 98 network. I'm going to try rebooting completely unnetworked and see what happens. But someone once suggested it might be due to memory leaks - which is something I know nothing about.

Re: HyperCard Porting
you can put an autocompact handler in your hypercard stacks... on openstack compact this stack end openstack on closestack compact this stack end closestack You can even put handlers like this into your home stack , i.e. with clever scripting you should not need to put these handlers in each and every stack - though I would recommend doing so! I never need to do this so I do not know what the command is - compact this stack is just pseudo code but you can definitely tell a hypercard stack to compact itself.

Re: HyperCard Porting
FWIW, I've never knowingly compacted a stack before importing it - and never seen a problem caused by this - but it can't hurt! Actually the metaCard documentation explicitly says you should (i.e. must) compact stacks before importing them. And I have had this cause runtime errors, though sometimes they are not as dramatic as a system crash. It's in the documentation for a reason.

Re: Bug Report 2.5b6
Yup. I reported this a day or two ago, so it is on the to-fix list. Cool! I also noticed you pointed out that Sort cards of this background by card field one (for example) i.e. sort cards by background does not yet work. Is that scheduled for 2.5 or later? It doesn't seem to work in 2.5b6. A workaround for that is to put a hidden field on each card with the number of the background and then to do a series of sorts sort cards by card field title --or whatever... sort cards by hiddenBackGround as long as the backgrounds are sequentially numbered I believe this works fine, though I have only tested it very briefly.

importing popup buttons contents from HC?
I am using Metacard 2.5 b6 - so far the accents and styled fields export just fine in windows! Good job! (I use a basilisk emulator for mac so I cannot test for mac compatability, and I don't have unix - sorry). On thing I did notice, which I do not think is unique to 2.5b6 (i.e. I don't think this is a bug) is that when I import a hypercard stack with popup buttons the contents of the buttons are not imported.

C function in metaTalk?
I'm trying to translate the following C functions into
hypertalk.
If done properly they take as input a string, say ABC
and then
permutate it into
a
a b
a b c
b
b c
c
UGLY C***
void permsWithPrefix(string s, string prefix)
public static void printPerms(String s)
{
permsWithPrefix(s, );
}
public static void permsWithPrefix(String s, string
prefix)
{
if (s.length() 2)
{
System.out.println(prefix + s);
}
else
{
String remainder;
for (int i = 0; i s.length(); ++i)
{
remainder = s.substring(0,i) + s.substring(i+1);
permsWithPrefix(remainder, prefix + s.charAt(i));
}
}
}
The closest I've gotten turning this into hypertalk is:
SWEET METATALK:*
on permswithprefix s, prefix
if the length of s 2 then put prefix s return
after cd fld 1
else
repeat with i = 0 to the length of s
put character 0 to i of s into remainder
put character i+1 of s after remainder
permswithprefix remainder, prefix character i
of s
end repeat
end if
end permswithprefix
on printperms s
permswithprefix s,
end printperms
on mouseUp
printperms abc
end mouseUp
*
But it still doesn't work, apparently because the
substring function in
c will deliver 1 character(!) if you say
eric.substring(2,3)
// -- returns r, if I remember correctly
Any ideas? I would really like to just translate this
function.
Thanks!

Re: MetaCard Web Browser
Eric Engle's browser is just subject to the limitations of the specific Metacard-HTML capabilities that were discussed several times on this list. Apart from the disability to display images Actually the browser -does- display images and hyperlinks work as well. However metaCard displays those images in the same space as a single character, e.g. a word X another word X where X represents a picture (of arbitrary size), i.e. the image is a part of a styled text field. The other nice thing is that the hyperlinks work. You -can- click on a link and (well, unless your subjected to some vagary of a CGI) go to a new page. I *think* php is supported in the protocol. If I were to take this further I would develop a way to autoformat the images. However since I'm not aware of a property (this is all just styled text) that would tell me how large the images are (other than parsing the HTML source) that would not be so easy. Another interesting tidbit: this was developed using the MC starter kit! If MC or RR want to distribute this feel free. Do people think that a MC standalone web browser would be at all useful? I actually did make one, it's not all that difficult. Again, if MC or RR want a copy of this just ask.

MetaCard Web Browser
Hi! I built a very primitive web browser using metaCard. It is available on the RR site (MC/RR Internet Browser, MIB) http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/developerdownloads/usercontributions.html It's not particularly stable, not due to my fault. It never crashes my system (Windows 98) but does sometimes crash M/C (or at least cause it to hang). If anyone is willing to look at this and tell me what they think I would be really grateful. I think MC/RR could and should develop further along these lines.
