>looking for hypercard on ibm pc

     I talked to Scott Shwarts of Symmetry Corporation at HyperExpo, and
he says that Macintosh Today made a bigger deal of the story than
was required. Not only would you have to interpret the HyperCard
file format (which they have done) but also include lots of ROM
routines. It would be very difficult, at best.

>showLines doesn't seem to work with scrolling fields.

     Your question was brought up at HyperExpo also, and Bill Sez that
is because he is relying on textEdit to handle all the field information.

>Has AHUG written any more Windoid issues. I have six.

     I just talked to David Leffler of the HyperCard testing team and
past president of AHUG. He is also editor of Windoid. He has been
trying to get issue #7 together for a while, but has been delayed.
He says he will have it done in the next week or two. It will be
about 20 pages long, as opposed to the usual 5 to 10. He has been
exceptionally busy getting version 1.2.1 out. I personally enjoy
the Windoid issues a lot.

>"Save a copy..." from a script.

     A fellow by the name of Guy de Picciotto has written several
XCMD's and XFCN's including ones to copy files, create new folders,
read the disk catalog etc. It is available on CompuServe or GEnie.
For details, check out a stack I created called the "XCMD Register."
It contains a 40K stack telling you about 65 XCMD's and XFCN's
what their legal status is, and what their download names are on
the two services. You can also get it free with several XCMD's
by sending me a disk and an SASE. Else send a check for $4 to cover
disk, mailing, postage, and handling. There was an article in MacWEEK
about my service for further info.
