Hello!
First let me introduce myself.
I work as a technical adviser in prepress workflow. Our environment
contains several platforms and operating systems. Unix and NT servers,
Mac, PC and SGI rips (postscript raster image processors) and
workstations. I do scripts in AppleScript and HyperTalk languages. My
programming skills could be evaluated as Intermediate because of a few
successful high school credits in programmation.
My goal:
I have a Hypercard stack that I want to port to the PC. The stack
creates a lot of card buttons, card fields and bitmap graphics at run
time. So it uses the tool palette a lot. The user also have to use the
graphic tools a lot. The purpose of the stack is to build
comprehensive layouts of imposition schemes. The user fills fiedls
with page and press sheets sizes plus number of columns and rows and
the stack generates press imposition sheets with all informations like
margins and gutter distances, page and sheet sizes, page head
orientation, etc.
Hypercard is auto-saving each imposition layout in a card that we can
reuse for other similar jobs.
No way that I can do that with the starter kit...
About 8 people are using the stack.
My question:
I read all the information in the starter kit and still not sure if
I absolutely have to get the license of a home stack for each PC
unit where I want my stack to run?
Myself alone will be using MC to create or convert stacks. The users
will only use the stacks as end users. Is there a way to save the
tool and browser palettes in a standalone application? I'm willing to
live by the rules and pay for a multiple user license, but I want to
be sure not to pay more than needed.
As the status of Hypercard is not sure, MC could well be a good option
for me.
Thank You.
Regards
Gaetan Trudel
