> OK so no-one uses ToolBook? How about Lingo is that on the list?
Lingo is fun for multimedia work, but is as married to Director's object
model as xTalk is to the card-background-stack model. If it's a part of the
xTalk family, it is a second cousin twice removed (and twice removed from my
hard drive as well).
I've used ToolBook in the past, but like SuperCard it deploys to only one
platform, so I have not been able to use either for client work in recent
years.

It seems most folks gravitate to a single tool, and spend the rest of their
lives justifying the decision (I did for years <g>). In that social
context, interest in the broader discussion of all xTalk dialects seems to
appeal to the few of us who enjoy this list.
But in principle I am attracted to what a web site can do for this sort of
exploration, and would be happy to contribute as time permits.
