Has anyone done anything with generating these files in OS9? Before I
try to reinvent the wheel, I thought I should ask the wizards. I'd
like to create them in OS 9 and send them to an OS X Mail where they
should be picked up by iCal.
Why?
To make life easier :-)
For various reasons having to do with legacy hardware and software my
wife continues to use our beige tower G3 and OS9. We nearly missed a
meeting that she hadn't written on the Kitchen dead tree calendar,
she hadn't put into her Treo, so it wasn't synchronized to iCal on
this Powerbook, and so, neither was it synchronized to my Treo.
Despite the technology in her hands, she continues to use a HyperCard
stack I built some years ago to keep track of various events in her
life, dipping her toes only gingerly into actually putting events in
iCal on the Powerbook.
I have sent an event from iCal to her email (Claris Emailer) and I
can see the ics, or vcal info directly in the email on the G3. I
imagine, perhaps naively, that I should be able to generate such a
file with SuperCard, HyperCard or Applescript on the G3 for her to
send such information via email to the powerbook , and let Mail and
iCal take care of posting the information.
eppc events still fail regularly across the OS's requiring restarts
of the G3 each time consequent to the eppc event failure. I do not
understand sockets, which I am led to believe may be a way to bypass
this problem of machines talking to one another. This seems like an
accessible solution. I am wondering therefor, if anyone has done
anything like this.
No one, no one is here. We stand in the Atlantic. We become panoramic.
