Hi, I'm running MetaCard 2.3.1 under Mac OS X DP4 right now (under Classic Envionment). It's neat to see how well Classic works, since MetaCard runs great under it. I know a version has been announced for OS X, but I have a couple questions: I'm trying to write a GUI-based installer, which basically does the same thing as the csh installer script does now. The UNIX version of MetaCard of course works great under various UNIXes, but since it is written for X-Windows, won't run uner OS X. Since I'm not sure which method MetaCard will be introduced to OS X, as a port of the UNIX version, or as a "Carbonization" of the Mac OS engine. Will MetaCard for OS X support shell() commands, since at this time I have no way of issuing a simple "tar -xf file.tar" command under OS X in MetaCard. (Also, if anyone has any idea how I could write this program right now, that would be great, but I'm hoping the OS X version of MC will support all the UNIX aspects of OS X? I'm extremely excited about MC for OS X! Thanks in advance, ReeD.
