Is there any way to convert a Tool-Book stack, app, executable, I'm not sure what the correct description is, into a Rev stack? I know it can not be done directly like a MC, HC or SC stack but, is there some sort of hack which would at least make the conversion a little more computer

2009-11-03 Thread stephen barncard
Rev does things quite a bit differently and more efficiently than most other systems. There might be some similar functions in Toolbook, but most of us eschew the 'automatic' conversion anyway, even though there's an importing feature, and start again from scratch - it turns out to be easier to

Thanks Stephen, Tiemo and Marty for your quick responses. My original question is proof that language is a poor form of communication (grin). What I'm after is the content (text and images) of the original Tool- Book book. I do not want the actual code (script). I will redo the actual

This is the fun part: to get the 'stuff' out it's probably best to write the export code using the source platform. Depressing, because one wants to move forward not backward, but recovering the data is one of the most important parts of your conversion. I had a project once to convert a

If there are a lot of objects you want to port, it may be worth the time writing the properties that describe them out to a file and then writing a routine in Rev to rebuild them from those properties. I wrote a couple such import/export thangs for SuperCard back in the day, but haven't had
