One MetaCard Application modifying another

1999-10-22 Thread Geoff Canyon

If you wanted to give an end user the ability to hardwire some 
customer-specific information into an application, without the use of any 
external files, one way to do it would be to build the application just 
for them, after making the necessary changes to the source stacks. 
Another would be to write a second app to customize the first. Would this 
be an ugly task, opening the target application's file, going to a 
certain offset, and plugging some value in, or would it be possible to, 
for example, set a property on the stacks within a "compiled" MetaCard 
application, without getting into the low-level aspects?

Thanks in Advance

Re: Monitoring learning

1999-10-22 Thread Andu

Hi List Members,

 I'm developing some university courseware with MetaCard.  I'll be
distributing it to my students, and the stacks will monitor their use of
it (e.g., time spent per session, time spent per card, errors in
answering questions and so on).  I want that usage information returned
to me.  What's the best way to do it?

 Regards,

  Greg

You can use either the smtp protocol so that you get the data as E-mail or
the http protocol to have it sent to a server from which you can retrieve
it. For http you can use "post expression to url". Smtp works too but it
is in alpha stage.

Regards, Andu
