 Support for URL access other than "file:", "binfile", and "resfile"

 releases as well as new support for file-based proxies, keep alive
 connections, and other new features.  HTTP proxies should now
 automatically be detected on MacOS systems.
 
 
 I want to look at the library - please, please?

It's a substack of the tools stack, and it's our
own little "open source" project.  Want a new URL
feature or to fix a bug?  Help yourself.  Of course
you also still have the option of sending it in to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll take care of it.  And
if you do make changes, please do send them in so
that we can merge them into the standard version of
the library.

I don't like this. And I think it's a little inconsistent too: you are
backward compatible to HyperCard and OMO, and a version later of MC, the
urls don't work anymore. I think that you have to find a solution around
this, because this ain't neat anymore, because I now need two lines to get
url access instead of one.

Another thing that's nice is that the (non-existing) font "System" is the
system font, set in the Appearance control panel (on Mac at least), instead
of always "Charcoal". But the problem is that you use this also for the tabs
in the Properties palette, which can get really ugly when the system font is
set to "Sand".

Solution: In the Appearance control panel there are 3 fonts set:
1) a big font (standard: Charcoal) for headings and menu's
2) a small font (standard: Geneva) for explanation and labels
3) a 'show' font (standard: Geneva 10) for lists and icons
I'd call them:
1) ".system_main"
2) ".system_exp"
3) ".system_list"

Sjoerd

Mark jumped the gun here a little bit (what do you guys do, camp out
at the FTP site?), but here's the scoop:

MetaCard 2.4 alpha 1 is indeed now available for Win32, MacOS, and
Linux Intel in the directory ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4/

This is an *alpha-test* release, which means lots of stuff is still
broken and/or missing.  People who aren't comfortable out on the
bleeding edge should probably wait for the beta-test period.  But
basically anyone who's already using Mac OS X qualifies and they'll
probably want to add this new engine to the stuff they're playing with
on OS X ;-)

This engine uses the same file format as 2.3.2, so as long as you
don't use any of the new features (like storing images or hidden text
in fields), you'll be able to continue work using 2.3.2 if this engine
has a problem you can't get around.  Note that this *won't* be the
case for the beta test releases because a format change is required to
support a couple of new features that haven't been enabled yet.

As always, be sure to read the README file for important instructions
and warnings.
  Have fun!
Scott
