Re: Should I forget HC? Honestly?

I learnt a lot from HyperCard in 1993 . . . when watching my 6 month year old son. However, my son is now working his way towards his 27th birthday, and does not need the sort of attention from me that he needed then. LiveCode IS, to all intents and purposes, HyperCard, in much the same way

Re: Should I forget HC? Honestly?

Yes, I have "done", and in so doing I asked myself some pretty warped questions, of which the signal one was, "What on earth am I doing this for when the LiveCode IDE can be simplified sufficiently to exclude all developments post version 7 anyway?" Richmond. On 26.01.19 17:01, Roger Guay

Re: LC application running on lab computers

I don't know much about Windows . . . but, on Macintosh machines and PCs running Linux there is often a folder called "Shared" or somesuch alongside all the user directories: might this not be the place to write a pref file that is going to be shared by all users? Richmond. On 28.03.19 г. 8:45

On the other hand, I think I'll just christian LC 9.0.4 RC-4 "Millennium" after it froze 3 times in a row on Xubuntu 10.04 34-bit. Best of luck getting back on track (as I'm sure you will) with LC 9.0.4 RC-2. Richmond. On 29.03.19 г. 11:27 ч., Richmond wrote: Wow! After all the negative
