Scott may answer, but my guess would be "no closer." MetaCard for OS X is a Carbon app, and from what I understand there's no way for Carbon apps to be able to issue UNIX commands. Cocoa apps can do this, but rewriting MetaCard in Cocoa from the ground up would not be a lot of fun for MetaCard, and from what I hear Cocoa isn't totally all there yet. But what about an external which could issue UNIX commmands and act as a "go-between" between Carbon and OS X? I'm with you... There are a MILLION different things I'd like to do with MetaCard for OS X, but I can't do them because MC for OS X doesn't allow shell commands. I end up using mc (darwin), or AppleScript, and I'd much rather use MetaCard (OS X version.) There are a bunch of us who could write some serious kick-ass apps if MC could do this. -- :) Richard MacLemale Network Administrator J. W.
