I have these functions in a standalone which then directs the user to a number of MC stacks. Works great until I burn then to CD. Please, can anyone help? Thanks Rick function AppPath put the filename of this stack into tPath set the itemdel to / If (IsOSX()) then get offset(.app/Contents/MacOS/, tPath) if it 0 then -- 2.4.3 or later delete char it to len(tPath) of tPath end if end if delete last item of tPath return tPath / end AppPath function IsOSX if the platform is not MacOS then return false get the systemversion set the itemdel to . if item 1 of it = 10 then return true return false end IsOSX Plan!

Re: Version conflict
Hi Hugh, Do I need to worry that I get a Tools stack version (2.6) does not match engine version (2.6.1) message with the current mc.exe and IDE stacks? Oo BAD Karma!!! This will burn down your house, wreck your car and curse your familiy up to the 10th generation if you don't fix it... S sorry for you :-( Just kidding, fo course ;-) The disadvantage is ONLY this annoying dialog :-) Put this in the messagesbox: set the mcversion of stack mctools to 2.6.1; save stack mctools That's it :-) /H Hugh Senior The Flexible Learning Company Web: www.FlexibleLearning.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T/F: +44(0)1483.27 87 27 Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.major-k.de ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Do I need to worry that I get a Tools stack version (2.6) does not match engine version (2.6.1) message with the current mc.exe and IDE stacks? nop that dialog should have a checkbox do not show same warning again. This would require modifying the home stack unfortunately. Robert ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

How to do clean install of MetaCard?
I need to run MC on a new Mac (Panther). From the MC IDE User Group: The engine that drives the MC IDE is Runtime Revolution. The latest version is available at runrev.com. After downloading, you'll need to place the engine into the MetaCard folder, renaming it to mc.exe on Windows, MetaCard on Mac Classic, and mc on Linux. On OS X you need to copy the executable from the the Revolution bundle in Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution to MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard 1) The MC IDE of course doesn't contain a MetaCard.app 2) If I copy the Revolution.app and rename it MetaCard.app and then change the executable name inside the bundle to MetaCard, it won't launch at all (using RR 2.5) Help anyone? best, Chipp ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: How to do clean install of MetaCard?
Sorry Klaus, that didn't work either. I've created a folder in the same directory at the mchelp.mc, mchome.mc, and mctools.mc and named it MetaCard.app. Of course the extension went away because the Mac now thinks it a bundle. Next I opened the bundle and created a new folder named Contents, then opened it and created a new folder named MacOS and then opened it and copied the Revolution 2.5 executable from the Revolution bundle at Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution. Now, I double click on the MetaCard.app bundle and nothing happens. Any other suggestions? Klaus Major wrote: Hi Chipp, I need to run MC on a new Mac (Panther).

Thanks Jacque, This should probably be included in the installation instructions at the MC IDE group front page. -Chipp J.

We already use the maximum number of characters allowed. :) But really, this is the first time this has come up. Very few people use the MC IDE, and about 98% of those who do were using it before the acquisition. The FlipsIDE plugin will make everything really smooth, as soon as Kevin's done helping me debug why it causes Rev to crash. Once it's done you'll never need to dissect the OS X engine bundle again -- just one click and you switch from Rev to MC (or to Rossiland or to Constellation or anything else you want). Set a preference and it becomes zero clicks. :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
