Enter the wonderful world of temp files :)
Anthony,
my thought exactly, though there will be problems if we wanted to merge a
temp file's contents back into the standie. We might have to live w/o it,
that is place a 'data' file next to the application that contains
additional blocks. That is,
Regarding icons, I have started drawing them and shall limit my palette to
less then 256 colors - in fact my preference is for the quickdraw eight
because most people do not have such refined color accuity (believe it or not
the french are significantly color blind - like 10% of the population.

since on many platforms programs can't change their file while they're
running, which is reauired to save changes to a standalone stack, but I
think in the long term we have to support them.

Personally I would appreciate _any help from Scott or MC and would be willing
to draft whatever would be useful to help this project. On that point your
'lite' license appears to be the same as your 'heavy' license. If you wish I
can draw up a license for the 'lite' version that would limit its

Is the font New York available on winDoze?
I agree, courier is an excellent choice for the font.
We should use fonts which are standard and readily available on both platforms

I suppose palatino is also unavailable... what

this depends wholly on the implementation. Claris' products are very
inaccurate because they do constant conversion between units, which causes
things to move around from time to

In explaining the low quality graphics, i expect that the authors of MC are
used to vectorial drawing rather than bitmap. Personally, for anything
detailed bitmaps are better, unless your doing transformations.

Eric,
honestly spoken, I would have expected a loud yell about MC's interface
from an art school person. I have arts major course and it hurts my eyes.
Since MC does not support "doMenu" as extensively as HC i do not forsee
working on the menus till spring.
Look for the "menuPick" message. MC has all its menus in popup-buttons
(you can show them using the "editMenus" property), since other platforms
don't have a global menu bar.

You get around the "no business purpose" (necessary to prevent liability) by
