Thank all of you for your great feedback about Metacard. Sounds great.
I may sound kind of dumb here, but I am still not clear on how one would
deploy a Metacard Stack via a web Browser. I have only my ToolBook
experience to draw from. With ToolBook you actually select a menu item that
converts and exports your project into an HTML (now DHTML) file. It creates
one HTML page for every page in the project. For quiz questions and other
items you built with its extended object editors (that are deemed
convertible), they get converted to JAVA applets. As far as any openScript
you wrote, it will be lost and does not convert. Now you have project that
can run as a native HTML application on compatible browsers. The other
method is to use a plug in called Neuron that runs ToolBook in a compatible
Browser. It sends the requested pages or interactions in packets. This
method is fraught with problems and is exceedingly slow.
So the question is, how does Metacard deal with all of this?
Thanks again
