Re: metacard Digest, Vol 14, Issue 7

Richard, I don't think you answered the question Robert Brenstein asked. So, with FlipsIDE currently, if I have some low-level RR license (i.e., not Enterprise), what happens when I flip to MC? Are the standalone builder stacks locked out somehow? With DreamCard, for example, I don't need

Re: tools stack version (2.6) doesn't match engine version

Thank you, Richard. Does that mean that there will be scripted versions of the engine changes to compensate for the use of an older engine, or merely that the IDE will not rely on any of these changes, or what? On 17-Oct-04, at 10:00 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I just installed the lat

Standalone builder problem

Fellow Metacardians, I don't often build standalones in Metacard (I run stacks instead), but today I had need of, so I tried it (Mac OS X 10.3.3, MC 2.5). Problem is, it doesn't work: it gets as far as creating the app bundle, but then quits with the error that it can't open MetaCard *within th

Plug ins in MC 2.6b1 and other questions

Metacardians, I see that the new MC IDE 2.6 has a plug-ins menu. Having never used one, what constitutes a plug-in? Is it just a main stack that serves a particular function? It is anything other than a stack being put in use, or do all scripts and properties of the plug-in stack become av

I know this should be simple, but...

Fellow Metacardians, For the first time in all my years using metacard on the Mac OS (currently MC 2.5 under OS X), I have the need to create a standalone for Windoze, and, to be honest, I don't have a clue how to do it. I gather I need the Windoze engine, but I have no idea whe

Metacarders, I sent a stack to a colleague who uses RR rather than mc to run an experiment. On preopenstack, the stack does the usual to prevent the experimental participants from clicking menus or background with untoward effects: on preopenstack hide menubar set the decorations of this

Re: Metacard support

I won't repeat Wilhelm's comments both to save space and to acknowledge the fact that I think most of us agree with the general sentiment. As a long-time supporter of Metacard (MC), I, too, have lamented in previous posts about the directions that RR has taken. I won't repeat those either. I

On RR acquiring Metacard

As with some others, I have the disquieting feeling of being ``hoist by my own petard'': on initially moving from hypercard to metacard years ago, my principle complaint (voiced on this list) with metacard was the, then, incomprehensible interface (why or why could it not be more like hypercard
