Hello List,
I found a banner on a web-site about revolution and checked it out ...
I'm not familiar with HyperCard (well, I wrote some stacks 10 years
ago...) and I can't put rev on a place (in my head). I got the
feeling, that rev does much more than the HyperCard that I knew
- Is it right: all information is stored in 'stacks' - something like
records in a Database? (as HyperCard)
- Where is the limit of the free-Version?
- What's the main difference to 'RealBasic'/'VisualBasic'?
- is there a typical use for rev
I tested rev with a very simple script (yes, yes, 'hello world') and
I found the compiled application much 'crispier' than the same test
with RealBasic (after doubbleclicking, the rev-App' comes up faster
than the RealBasic equivalent)
I'm doing most of my work with/in Filemaker and I'm looking for a
scripting/programming Language to perform task that couldn't be done
inside FMP (kind of installers, read/write to serial ports,
file-manipulations. etc.)
sorry to ask :-(
m.
