Recently there's been discussion on the MetaCard list about getting
some sort of program out there that could run MetaCard stacks, while
still doing a mainstream computing task. One suggestion has been a
web browser.
I started up, prior to this discussion, on a word processor in

I know I'm going to get some heat for being so disdainful of HTML/JavaScript
as a development solution if MetaCard cannot dynamically set screen elements
to proportionally fill the screen regardless of window size/screen
resolution (nevermind that MetaCard can apparently do everything

Perhaps you missed Sivakatirswami's post...

my mac at home.
It's cacking up an error as follows:
when I double click on the stack (not standalone) on desktop or when
it's located in metacard folder it refuses to open.
