I have only been using Revolution for less than a year now and before
that I used hyperCard. I know about MetaCard but I thought it was
replaced by Rev. So where do I get the MetaCard IDE and after I
get it how do I install it properly?
I have noticed others on the list mention they use MetaCard too. Will
someone please explain why people use MetaCard even though they
keep using the latest version of Rev.
thanks,

That is a nice stack. Thank you. I do get a few error dialogs. I
even get one

I would very much like to know what kind of error dialog you get
and which
operations could not be cancelled.
One of the already known issues is the unfriendliness of the Rev
IDE towards
customized answer and ask dialogs.
On the one hand among the (once) praised features of Metacard and
Revolution was
the possibility to adapt even elements of the IDE to your specific
needs; since
long I prefer to embed my own dialogs into my stacks, because I
need the option
to place them anywhere on the stack or the screen and I do not like
the far
oversized widths of the dialogs Rev offers.
On the other hand the Rev IDE is "over-protective" in some
respects (and for
reasons that escape me) and does not like such customized dialogs.
Take a look at the script of btn "revfrontscript" of stack
"revlibrary" which is
inserted as a frontscript for the Rev IDE and comment out lines 992
to 1006 in
handler "revCheckStackCollision". This will stop the complaint
about the answer
dialog and otherwise will have no effects on how the Rev IDE will
function.
Alternatively it would be a good choice to get the Metacard IDE and
just place
the latest Rev engine into it. Most - if not all - of your problems
will then
disappear.
Another annoyance is the fact that with version 3 of the Rev IDE
the blue stack
"Rev Centre" keeps popping up all the time after a customized
answer or ask
dialog has finished the execution of its script. I have not yet
found out from
where this annoyance originates. Same recommendation as above: Get
the Metacard
IDE.-
And: I hope the mail service of our server will now work properly.
I saw that
even my post about "Twofold posting of mail" was sent twice.
