Converting colour names: Hex RGB colour values...
There are three ways of specifing a colour: name, rgb, and htm hexcolour... How do I convert between them? I was about to write a routing to convert rgb to html colour values, and I couldn't get around the problem of the colour functions returning colour names instead of rgb triplets - anyway I am sure there must be a built in technique? ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: why MetaCard?
RunRev has been getting all the buzz, it has extensive documentation, so why do some developers prefer MetaCard? I used both before making the choice. I was told that both programs used the same engine, so both could do the same things. Both had the same capability. RunRev had a lot of added features regarding the programming environment. A message box that allowed multiple lines. A control browser that let you sort the data in different ways. Programming shortcuts. A better help system. But the underlying ability, as far as I was told, was the same in both programs. Whatever you could make one do, you could make the other do. It was a tough choice, as RunRev did have so many more features that made programming easier. But for me, RunRev was very unstable. It crashed and burned so many times in a single day, and whatever work hadn't been saved yet went poof. Saving was required literally after every single change, every added word. I decided that the features were not worth the crashes. It froze constantly, requiring a hard restart of my computer. That sucks a lot of time, plus it's something I try to avoid having to do. Surely it can't be good to do that several times a day. As I create programs that I distribute, I have to have an environment that I can trust. If it crashes and burns for me, no doubt it will do that to the people who use my programs, and that is not acceptable.

Besides the fact that I choose MetaCard for the same reason as you did (IDE not stable), your last argument isn't true. The environment is unstable because it uses a *lot* of memory in bad way, and the bugs are there of course because RunRev is still in development. But when you make a standalone, it will experience none of the unstableness of the IDE (or at least, no more than it will if developed in MC). So I chose Metacard. At last, I did the same.

open driver dName
Hello all, Recently I heard about the open driver driverName command. It seems to be an undocumented feature. Are the MC-people willing to share something about it with us? That'd be great, because I (and maybe some others) am developing an interface for PC -- DMX (MIDI for light control), and I'd like to do this on the PCI bus, but MC hasn't (documented) suppart for that.

Re: why MetaCard?
I chose Revolution, but one reason to choose MetaCard would be if your development machine isn't recent. Revolution (on a Mac) isn't happy on pretty much anything short of a 128MB machine. The standalones you build will have the same memory appetite as MetaCard standalones, but to develop, you need more memory to run Revolution. Another reason to choose MetaCard is Scott Raney. I have no complaints about Revolution's support, but Scott is in a class by himself. Hi, Scott! :-) Apart from Scott's jedi-like support skills, there's also the fact that he's in the U.S. -- if you are in the U.S. and your support needs tend to be immediate and in the afternoon (when it's late at night in Scotland) then that is a factor as well. On the flipside, if you are in Europe, then Revolution's support is likely to be more timely. If you are in New Zealand and you have a burning question at 3PM, then the list is a wonderful thing :-) regards, Geoff ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: why MetaCard?
My nickel tossed into the pot... IF you are the type of person that likes to build things from the ground up (like me) MetaCard seems less intrusive. It feels more like a toolbox, whereas to me Rev feels more like a wall mounted set of fancy tools. And I agree with the statement about problems, in that you don't know if you've found a bug in the MetaCard engine, of it it's in Rev. However, I think the Rev folks have done a really, really good job so far and the product is constantly improving. In this sense they take after MetaCard. The very first Macintosh beta of MetaCard was pretty bad, but it's just evolved and evolved and evolved and gotten better and better, to the point where I wouldn't ever want to use anything else. I expect the same will happen with Rev over time. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice - MetaCard may require you to invent your own widgets, but then the widgets are built with your vision... :) Richard MacLemale Instructional Technology Specialist James W.
