I'm not too happy with it either. Awhile back I tried a project that, while still is out there, didn't have the initial impact I was hoping for. Check out <http://www.karlbecker.com/newtricks/> I was hoping to get a copy of that word processor on a bunch of computers - it's a full-featured word processor, yes, but the great thing is that the MC engine is in there too. The "Add-ons" feature of the program is really just a way to get MetaCard stacks to run on people's computers without the added file size of a standalone project. It's still a good idea, but the program could use some work, of course... if anyone's ever interested, just e-mail. I think the developer stack is actually not even working... if you're that interested, you'll probably e-mail me anyway ;-) Oh, and as far as why MetaCard is the stuff... It uses the exact same syntax as HyperCard (which I learned on) , but it extends it in so many great and easy-to-program ways I can't help but not use it. Other languages often frustrate me with their strange syntax and ways of dealing with data... I can find nothing better than writing, "put char 1 of theWord" since doing the same thing would be plenty harder in any other programming language. -- Karl Becker, KB Productions - http://www.karlbecker.com Featuring:New Tricks, Tiger's Eye Pub, and The Fishin' Hole _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
