Hypercard is dead, long live SuperCard. Have the funeral and move on.
Actually, either live SuperCard or Runtime Revolution. Supercard I
think is a bit (or a lot - I haven't used it since v3) more polished,
but Revolution has a lot of potential.
And I didn't mean by the comment that "Hypercard was one of the most
inovative (blah)" and the bit about the system integration that it
can't be done - it certainly can, and faster. I wouldn't even want to
*think* about writing a web browser in HC - but I might using
Revolution or Applescript Studio . Nor did I mean that HC should be
resurrected as it - God no. HC was the beginning, but it *is* dead
now, and has been for a while (no color, very little or no multi-window
support, little real menu support, etc - I never looked much at the 2.2
version).
All these things *can* be done, and quite quickly given the tools -
which are now freely available in xCode. I'm saying that if the
functionality of AppleScript Studio were available on the desktop
(rather than as a separate app), it might get a bigger a bigger
user-base. How much bigger, I don't know. I just have a feeling that
Cocoa programming, and perhaps even Applescript studio programming, is
seen as more intimidating that HC was, because of the design interface.
I'm very possibly wrong on that, but I remember seeing a *lot* of
stuff relating to HC (the DevStack collections, other external
collections, reams of educational software) and I'm not sure if that is
happening with Applescript Studio, although AS Studio still is
relatively new.
