Dear FreeScriptors,
First let me make one thing clear: I personally hope the partners choose to
prototype FreeUI in MetaCard. In all likelyhood, I will begin rewriting
OenoLog in MC as soon as the HC version is fully functional and debugged
(Ill be paying Scott the one large before the MC version is released
regardless); so it's to my advantage to work with the full-blown system
before paying for it.
My concern focuses on what the partnership is committed is to deliver to MC
Corp. and whether we can reasonably expect whatever we accomplish in
MetaTalk to be of value to Scott and others. I am concerned because I
think it is possible that, by the time we get a basic foundation in place,
the FreeCard interpreter will have progressed to the point that we can
script the remainder in FreeScript. At that point do/can we abandon MT for
FS and say, "Here's as far as we got, Scott."?
What about it, Scott? Anthony, 1) are my estimates too optimistic and 2)
what will the UI group get as a starting point with the engine...an open
window & a message box, plus a list of objects & properties and commands,
operators, & syntax supported?
