Well, I don't know of any way that I can calculate the DISCID of an Audio CD using just RunRev. The disc ID is a 8-digit hexadecimal (base-16) number, computed using data from a CD's Table-of-Contents (TOC) in MSF (Minute Second Frame) form. I can't find any support for accessing redbook CDs anywhere in RunRev.
I'm not saying it's not possible, just that I can't find a way to do it. >----- ------- Original Message ------- ----- >From: Stephen Quinn Barncard ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Sat, 31 May 2003 15:53:56 > >The XCMD capability is there for backward >compatibility - OS X >doesn't work with the old XCMDs, only OS9. > >Are you sure that what you want from the PC-ONLY >Active-X can't be >done in native Transcript and custom made controls? > > >I once was quite attached to what I could do (had >to do) with XCMDs >in Hypercard as you are with 'Active-X' until I >found Rev.
