I'd prefer it to be a stack property...

That way you get the best of both worlds... not sure yet as i have'n't got
round to implementing it - but I guess you can get the same by adding a
"startup" handler to each stack...

I don't speak for Scott, but the problem with having it the other way around is that 
it defeats the entire purpose of being able to run without the development environment 
-- you want cgis and the like to be able to launch fast and run tight, and they 
obviously can't press the control key when they run.

Geoff

Now as this would have been my number 1 request - I can't complain - *but* I
had just finished 2 days coding to get around this!!!

Aww go-on - let us have it the other way around - maybe just an option? I
know it's against your principles - but it's for the first time user type???

Very nice.

Absolutely awesome!

You so very rock!

Wow -- most of the new features were on my "most-wanted" list! This is
fantastic. Thank you.

Now...fix the debugger? :)

MetaCard 2.4.2 beta 1

2002-02-13 Thread Scott Raney

MetaCard 2.4.2 beta 1 is now available in the directory
ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4.2/

This release only includes engines and tools stacks.  You must have a
previous release installed on your system, then just back up those two
files from your existing installation and replace them with the files
from this one.

This is primarily a bug fix release over 2.4.1, so if you've reported
a problem with that or a previous release, please check this release
to verify that it has been fixed.  There are also a few new things
including a new regex library and some new field and language
features.  See the complete list of new features in the file
ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.4.2/README.2.4.2

This release should be as stable as beta-test release, but does not
include the full complement of features planned for 2.4.2 yet.  Take a
look at what we've got so far and if there's something that you think
it really needs, please send your suggestion in to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Regards,
Scott
