#### BINHEX     ae-tester.hqx   ****

Date: Mon, 19 Oct 1992 08:37:24 +0100
From: [e-mail] (Stephen Cooper)
Subject: Apple Event Tester.HC

Apple Event Tester is a stack for testing the Apple event capablilites of
programs under devolpment.  It allows the user to send any message as any
descriptor, and receive the answer as text.  Text is the only data type
understood; certain data types are converted to text by HyperCard, e.g.,
lists.  Timeout can be set.  Messages can also be received.

Perfect for testing a product's usefullness when connected to HyperCard.

Includes an XCMD from apple for sending AEs.  Requires HyperCard 2.1.

The attachment is a stack called AppleShare Chooser 2.3, containing file
server mount and unmount XCMDs.  I recently went hunting for it and could
not find it anywhere.  Fortunately, a kind person at Berkely helped me out.
Could I suggest that it be reposted?

At-Your-Service Upgrade
=======================

Please upgrade AYS 1.1  with the attached version (vers 1.2).

         many thanks.........Tim Barlow


Version 1.0 -> 1.2 Bug Fixs + Changes.
----------------------------------

* Management of the 'Function' menu within the AYS Installer stack has been
improved to ensure that it is always highlighted when positioned on a
service definition card.

* Collection of captured data via a script now only occurs after any string
matching has been carried out.

* The text with a text edit window may now be extracted via the property 'text'
eg. get the Text of window 'editorname'

* A new scheme of service window closure ensures that a service is always
closed correctly regardless of the status of the current card.

* The 'Selection' submenu  for a text edit window do longer requires a
selection to be made for it to be highlighted.

* The pathname specified via the AttachLogFile message no longer needs to
be an existing file.

* The handling of HyperCard pathnames for multi-disc environments now works
correctly.

Abstract.
---------
At-Your-Service 1.0 is a HyperCard communications package that -

* provides a toolkit for installing self contained communications
capabilities into new or existing stacks. The installed facilities provide
a fast, simple and secure way of launching multiple, simultaneous
communication sessions.

* is based upon Apple's Communications Toolbox technology, consequently
connectivity is only limited by the range of Connection and Terminal
Emulation tools that are available on your machine.
(N.B. The package comes bundled with a public domain TCP/IP/telnet tool and
Apple's VT102 terminal emulation tool).

* includes 'communications' extensions to HyperCard's scripting language
(HyperTalk) to provide a powerful communications scripting facility.

The package is designed around the concept  of a 'service', which is
defined as any process running on a local or remote computer, eg. an Online
Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) or a Campus Wide Information System (CWIS).
A service is uniquely defined via a series of 15 parameters that describe
attributes such as the name, service type, the method used to connect to
the service, the login and logout scripts, etc.

The hub of the package is the AYS Installer stack that is responsible for
maintaining service definitions by providing facilities for creation,
storage and  testing. As the name implies the stack is also responsible for
installing/removing definitions into/from other stacks, therefore enabling
the creation of custom built communication stacks or the addition of
communications facilities to existing stacks.

Installed service definitions allow for multiple, simultaneous sessions to
be active at any one time. A typical session might therefore include a
serial connection to your local OPAC in one window, whilst another window
displays information from a CWIS, and a third displays a remote network
connection to a second OPAC.

The second stack included with the package, the AYS Example stack is a
stand-alone communications 'application' that is intended both as an
example of what can be achieved as well as a useful, ready-to-use utility.

What Is Supplied.
-----------------
HyperCard Stacks :
 AYS Installer stack, AYS Example stack

Comms. Tools etc :
 TGE TCP tool (Public domain tcp/ip/telnet tool)
 Serial Connection tool

 User Manual

Cost.
-----
The two stacks that are distributed will only launch communication sessions
that will remain active for 5 minutes, after which they will automatically
terminate.
Upon activation of the AYS Installer stack the operator is invited to enter
a code that will neutralise this mechanism and allow the launching of
sessions with unlimited time spans. The code may be purchased from the
contact address below for $30.00 per copy or a $300 per site licence (this
price includes both stacks and Communications Toolbox tools).

[NB. A site licence is required wherever 10 or more copies of AYS are
distributed or were AYS is used to install service(s) and supporting
software into one or more target stacks of which 10 or more copies are
distributed.]

#### BINHEX     break-name-11.hqx   ****

From: [e-mail]
Organization: Club Mac BBS Toronto
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1993 01:50:14 -0400
Subject: ChangeCase XFCN 1.1

    BreakName 1.1 is a HyperCard XFCN designed to quickly separate a full file
name into its components. To install it, use a program like ResEdit to copy
the BreakName XFCN resource from this stack and paste it into any HyperCard stack
you wish to access it from. If you wish to use this XFCN in a number of
stacks, just install it in your Home stack.
    Many Macintosh users never see a 'raw' file name, but if you delve into
file manipulation in HyperCard you will become painfully familiar with them.
To see the hidden part of a file name, select a file in Finder and choose "Get
Info" from the File menu. The hidden part of the name appears on the line
labelled 'where'. It is usually a rather long chunk of text that contains the
name of every folder you have to open to get to the desired file.
    The only parameter BreakName requires is a text string, presumably the
name of a file from which you want to extract the path or actual file name.
The result of its calculations is a text string containing just the file's
actual name. Optionally you can specify just the part you require ("Volume",
"Path", "Folder", or "File"), and the path separators in case you are using
some future version of the Mac O/S that uses different path separators (or
perhaps A/UX).
    A special case is made to properly deal with the string returned by
HyperCard's "long name of this stack" function, which is of the form <Stack
"Hard Drive:Any Old Stack">. This special case may not work with non-English
versions of HyperCard.

Syntax:    BreakName(FileName,<Part>,<Separator>)

    The BreakName XFCN is copyright Ben Lawson 1993. It has been released as
freeware, meaning that you are free to make any use of it you desire but that
I retain all ownership of it. Please do not distribute it in modified form or
without this documentation. BreakName is released as-is, and I take no
responsibility for any damage that might arise from it's use. Use it at your
own risk!

    The following text is a BinHexed StuffIt archive of a HyperCard 2.1 stack,

Mike,

Here's a collection of miscellaneous HyperCard XCMDs & XFCNs from the
people who brought the world the ColorizeHC XCMD.  Highlights are
an XFCN that allows irregularly shaped buttons, an XCMD for converting
PICT files to PICT resouces, an XFCN that does directory searching, and
an XCMD that copies text with style information intact.

Better still, it's FREEWARE!

Subject: ChangeCase XFCN 1.1

ChangeCase XFCN 1.1. Copyright Ben Lawson, 1993. All rights reserved.
Shareware fee: $5.00 (CDN or US)

    The ChangeCase XFCN takes text input and returns that text with the
case of its characters changed according to the specified conversion
method. This can be done in most scripting or macro languages (such as
HyperTalk), but a compiled XFCN beats them for speed and simplicity of use.
ChangeCase is roughly 1000 times faster than its HyperTalk equivilent on my
Macintosh IIci.

    ChangeCase is a 3 Kbyte resource that can be installed with the ResCopy
Stack, ResEdit or a similar utility into any application that supports
XCMDs and XFCNs. Example applications that can use XFCNs include HyperCard,
Microphone Pro, and 4th Dimension.

Syntax: ChangeCase(Container,<Case>,<SentenceEndings>)
Example (HyperTalk): answer ChangeCase("abc","upper") -- returns "ABC"

Using ChangeCase
===============
    ChangeCase can be used to quickly change the case of characters to the
following states:
        Lowercase: all letters in lowercase.
        Reverse: capitals change into lowercase, lowercase letters change
into capitals.
        Sentence: first letter of each sentence capitalized, other letters
in lowercase.
        Title: first letter of each word capitalized, other letters in
lowercase.
        Uppercase: all letters capitalized.


Enjoy!

Subject: Colorizing HC v1.1.5



--========================_6956254==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

This is v1.1.5 of the Colorizing HC stuff, replacing the previously
distributed versions. At the heart of the stack is the colorizeHC XCMD,
which supports colour backdrops in Hypercard - supporting a surprising
variety of colour effects in standard Hypercard. However, a stack provides
other features. With some simple amendments to your stack, it will send
extra messages to indicate when colour or windows should be added. It will
maintain a list of windows over a card, and move them if the window moves
and close them when the card closes. For read-only stacks it maintains a
number of global variables, saved and restored for each stack - supporting
stacks that change the appearance of particular cards when they are on the
screen, but do not wish to save the data when Hypercard terminates. The
same mechanism can be used generally to skip some of the initialisation
process of a stack when subsequently resuming it.

This version still contains v1.0 of the XCMD, but has many extensions of
the support scripts and fixes a few bugs. The XCMD stack itself can be more
easily distributed as a run time system, without its support stacks.

The software is free, the only restriction being to preserve the copyright
notices.

The Cursor Utilities Package contains externals for HyperCard which enable
the cursor to be hidden (great for touch displays), the idle cursor to be
changed to something other than a Hand (this allows "permanent" cursor
changes), moved under script control, disconnected from the mouse, and
constrained to move in either the horizontal or vertical directions only
(these latter options are used at your own risk - beware the Apple Thought
Police! :-))

Changes to 1.0.1: Fixed problem moving cursor on the Quadra 800.

Subject: dayOfWeek & Month XFCN

These two XFCNs return the localised text strings of the full/long
dayOfWeek and month respectively. I wrote these because I had trouble
parsing the long date into the month and dayOfweek respectively :P (Call me
stupid duh!). I could not depend on the word order format of the long date
since it is now configurable. I hope somebody has a use for these darn
things besides myself. :)

Does anyone know how I deal with the long month(), abrev month() or short
month() in a XFCN? Pointers and source code will be appreciated.

Think C 5.0 Source included. FreeWare I guess (How can anyone copyright 6
lines of code?)

Find enclosed two Hypercard XFCNs for accessing disk data files:

PrefWorks 1.0 XFCN: Finds the correct location for preference files under

                    these locations. Also gives very fast data transfers to
                    and from these files.

FileWorks 1.0 XFCN: Uses the file engine out of PrefWorks, but allows creation
                    and use of generic files.  Either via a Standard File
                    dialog or with a pathname.

From: [e-mail] (John Miller)




Attached is FastTab 1.03, the latest version of this HyperCard
Tab key accelerator.

As the number of fields on a card increases, the speed at
which HyperCard 2.0/2.1 tabs between fields decreases.  This is
most apparent on the low-end Macs, but can also be noticeable on
higher performance Macs when using cards with many fields. The FastTab
XCMD accelerates tabbing to bring the performance back
to an acceptable level.  Compressed in Compact Pro format.

Hi.

Enclosed is an assortment from my large collection of HyperCard externals.
These ones provide functions for manipulating resources, blocks of memory,
files and aliases, plus a few other odds and ends. A lot of them are fairly
low-level and should be used with care, but some people might still find them
useful. Some of these were used in my Voice Attachment Converter stack.

Subject: FileSysInfo XFCN (Early Access Release)

This XFCN is an "early access" release, that is it is part of another
package under development and is being shipped by itself after a request
on Usenet for something with its functionality. Early Access does NOT
imply beta, this is fully functional (I hope!).

FileSysInfo is an XFCN for HyperCard which returns back details on
a pathname you give it, if the pathname is a folder this information
includes details on all the files/folders within it. File information
includes creator, type, size(s) and folder information includes number
of contained files & folders.

Summary of license conditions: For personal & educational use non-ShareWare
authors must send me a psotcard, ShareWare authors must also send a waiver
for their ShareWare fees (this is just to use it, not to include it in
ShareWare). All other use is prohibited without prior agreement with
the author.

Enjoy!

Subject: [*] finderevents12.hqx


This is also available on ftp.apple.com in /pub/pugh/hyperstuff.

This is the newest version of the Bride of FinderEvents stack
which contains the oh-so-handy FinderEvents XCMD.  This XCMD
allows you to control the Finder as much as it can be controlled
through Apple events.  New changes allow the use of minimal aliases
so that you can now open items on remote machines with only a
pathname, a task previously thought to be impossible.

This is a must have for System 7 and Hypercard 2.1 users.

Subject: GetAddressingMode XFCN - tells if Mac is in 24 or 32 bit mode

Some time back I asked the net for an XFCN to determine if a machine is
running with 24-bit addressing or 32-bit addressing. As Dan LaSota already
pointed out in an earlier digest, the GestaltLook! set of XFCNs include
that functionality.

While browsing on AppleLink I also found the GetAddressingMode external.
GetAddressingMode does exactly what its name implies and fills the above-
mentioned need. It's also shareware, so I'm submitting it to the archives.

Subject: Paths in HyperCard (re-post -last may have been corrupt)


Here's (a hopefully corrected) guided Paths facility for HyperCard.
This enables authors to create a guided path through any number
of stacks and save any cards in any order into a linear path
that can be re-played later. Each card on the  path can also
have meta-information associated with it that will be displayed in
a separate window if desired.

This may be a good facility for aiding novices through a system
when they don't know the navigational conventions used in different
stacks. They may use the path palette which provides a standardised
navigational interface.

A History function is also included that saves every card that is visited
in the system - whether it is on the path or not. This can be used
for direct navigation and it can also be used in the direct creation
of new paths using the langth of visit data as a criterion for
inclusion in a new path.

This is being released as "Friendly-ware :-)" which is explained in
the stack. Hope you like it.

create a decision tree of their knowledge and then save the
decision tree as a separate stack in order to give to users in need

Subject: HyperMacro

HyperMacro is an  INIT  that makes it much easier to
enter scripts in HyperCard. It contains the following
features:
1. It responds automatically to many actions. For
   example, if you type:

                   on BigHandlerName

 then after you press Enter, HyperMacro supplies the

                  'end BigHandlerName'

   There is a similar response to 'function,''if-then,'
'exit,' 'pass,' 'repeat' and more.

2. You can scroll back in your script as far as you like,
   and then have any selected text instantly copied to
   the point where you are currently editing.

3. There are ten extra paste buffers  (Clipboards).

4. You can move around more easily.

5. There are numerous glossary macros that simplify
   entering text.

6. Holding down the Shift key while pressing Return or
   Enter will repeat the previous line.

7. HyperMacro can often anticipate your scripting actions
   using what are called 'Initial Macros.'

                        And more!

   HyperMacro 1.0 is FreeWare but NOT public domain.

Here is hypermerge 2.0.2, a shareware program from Bill Iverson. Its purpose
is to enable you to automatically merge two stacks, or portions of two stacks,
together into one stack.  Also handy for recovering stacks with corrupted
cards (simply merge to a new blank stack). I've not tested it with HC 2.0
or later, but I know it works fine with 1.2.2 and 1.2.5, and I see no reason
it shouldn't work with 2.0 and 2.1.

    Almost all commands supported by Apple II Logo are present. (Due to
limitations of Hypercard, color is absent) I'm sure you'll like Logo 2.1, and
for only $5 shareware how could you go wrong?

   Cambridge Medline Tutor contains Hypercard 1.2.5 stacks used (several
thousand times) at University of Iowa, Hardin Library for the Health
Sciences, to teach library users to search the Cambridge CD-ROM version of
the Medline database. Since Cambridge no longer produces CD-ROM Medline,
the stacks are not directly usable as teaching tools; however, they contain
scripting techniques that are of general applicability for CAI.
   Especially unusual about these stacks is that they use Hypercard on a Mac
to teach use of an IBM computer (pre-Windows). Because of this, the stacks
are controlled almost exclusively from the keyboard, instead of using the
mouse.
Other techniques that may be useful include:
-A time-out script that returns the system to the introductory screen after a
set time of inactivity.
-Technique to superimpose a relatively small field of text on the screen
gradually in an aesthetically pleasing way.
-Graphic design and simple animation techniques to simulate screens and
screen transitions in a command-line DOS environment.
To use stacks, put them all in a folder, and open HardinStart
   I would suggest putting in Hypercard directory.

New feature:
    You can now create and save palettes for both pictures and

QuickTime dithers. Even if you don't use Pictoids you may find this
feature useful if you use QuickTime - I know of no other package which
currently offers this ability (don't flame if you do, I don't know

applications once created by Pictoids.

    Yet another bug fix to the palette handling code, hopefully it
will now work on all machines without error.

it.  I down loaded the stack and it works too.  I include the stack.

Below is part of the info from the stack.  It is self-explaining and
installing. I did not write it so don't call me.

Hi!

Powers is a small XFCN which allows to simplify power products (for example,
(10^5)/(2^7) becomes (5^5)/(2^2).

The file is Pro-compacted. I reckon it should go into the "x" folder.

1993

What Does it do?
This XCMD prints the text of visible card fields and/or background fields on
an 8.5"x11" page (each card is printed on a separate page).  The text of each
field is printed at the same position as it appears on the card in a rectangle
with the same dimensions as the field.  Foreground or background printing is
permitted across a network or directly to the printer.  Based upon (entirely
biased) observations, the XCMD is very much faster than Hypercard - although,
at the moment,  I have no data to give an indication of the size of the
improvement.

The Progress Window XCMD is used for providing progress reports to the
user.  The obvious feature of this XCMD is the thermometer indicator
showing percent complete.  While it appears as a modal dialog, it really
is an extended XCMD window.  It ignores all keys presses and mouse
clicks.  It can also show an optional icon and the text and icon can
be changed at anytime under script control.

Enclosed are three shareware XFCNs that deal with text in Rich Text

processors while preserving formatting information. These XCMDs allow
HyperCard to exchange styled text with such word processors, Microsoft
Word in particular. They also allow you to copy styled text from one
HyperCard field to another, and to store styled text in variables.
These XCMDs only understand the subset of RTF that deals with fonts

run under HyperCard 2.0 or later. Think C source is included. This is
version 1.3, which corrects some bugs in version 1.2.

Here is RunOSAScript XFCN v.0.72 for HyperCard 2.1, by Donald Olson.
It was originally included on an AppleScript beta CD;  it is being
posted and submitted to the net archives with the author's permission.

The XFCN accepts an AppleScript in text form as an argument,
and executes the script if it is valid.  It is probably easiest
to write, test, and debug AppleScripts using the Script Editor.

See the stack script and "Execute" button scripts for error checks
and calling syntax.  The AppleScript example uses Finder 7.1.3 for
simplicity, but you can use any valid AS commands or scripts that
invoke other AppleScriptable software.

Requires AppleScript and HyperCard 2.1.  AppleScript is included
with a tutorial book from BMUG called "The Tao of AppleScript",
ISBN 1-56830-075-1.  I've heard that there is another Applescript
book by Danny Goodman that also includes the AppleScript software;
that book may be of interest to people who like Goodman's HyperCard
books, and those who intend to use AS with HC.

Subject: scripting-level-v1.0.cpt.hqx

ScriptingLevel v1.0

One of the most frequently asked questions about HyperCard 2.x which ships
with the Mac is "Why can't I select the scripting level?" or "what is
the command that allows me to select Scripting on the User Preferences card?"

The non-developer's version has a User Preferences card in its Home stack
with no apparent way of selecting user levels above 1 (browsing) or 2 (typing).

If you know the magic command, you can type it into the message box when
you are at the User Preferences card (and nowhere else) to reveal buttons
which  allow selection of user levels up to 5 (scripting) which is necessary
to edit scripts freely.

Not everyone knows the magic command, or can always remember it, or where to
execute it. The purpose of ScriptingLevel v1.0 is to execute the command
for HyperCard users who do not own the developer's version. I hope it
will also help reduce the number of times the above questions are asked.
Please download this stack and leave copies of it where users of the
non-developer's version can get to it.

This version 1.0 replaces the previous un-numbered version. The previous
version had a small bug which made it somewhat useless.

SearchPlus is a new search XFCN which performs the same basic operation

a. Better "searchWhole" characteristics:  The HC Search XFCN will find
   "10" in "1000" with searchWhole on!
b. Optional ignore-delimiters feature.
c. Unlimited (well, you know) return string length.
d. Additional information is returned about the found chunks: Besides
   the line number and item number, it also returns item number _within_
   the found line, and the character number of the container.

It also uses HyperCard's itemDelimiter function (not necessarily a
comma).  HyperCard 2.1 is required.

This is ShowDialog XCMD 1.6, a HyperCard external that allows

those of the ask and answer (and their variations) commands
built into HyperCard.  ShowDialog XCMD 1.6 and several other
useful externals are installed in the example stack, which is
a terrific example of stack design and scripting.  This is a
"must-have" for any stack developer, from novice to expert.
Although extensive examples are included, some knowledge of
ResEdit or other resource editor is required.  ResEdit (or
other) is required to create your custom DLOG and DITL re-
sources used by ShowDialog XCMD.

PLEASE read the enclosed "About" text document.  It contains
information about changes between this version and previous re-
leases, and information about the author (now deceased).

There have recently been several requests on comp.sys.mac.

Greetings,

Following is a Compacted, BinHexed copy of Stack Starter, version beta
.971 by Robertson Reed Smith.  This is an old HyperCard 1.2.x stack that
has a lot of neat goodies in it, including scripts, icons, animations,
and so on.  Several people on the HYPERCRD and HYPERTCH lists were
asking about it, and I couldn`t find it on any of the archives, so here
it is.  This is the most current copy I know of, if someone has a later
version, please post it.  Robertson, if you`re out there somewhere, I
hope you`re considering a HyperCard 2.x (3.x?) version of this stack.

CAUTION:  this stack was meant for version 1.2.x and has some
difficulties with version 2.x.  A couple of the externals aren`t greatly
happy with my configuration, either (System 7.1/HC2.1).  It is quite
easy to get into a situation where it is necessary to bail out via the
reset switch or by Command-Option-ESC.  Nevertheless, it has some fun,
interesting, and useful stuff in it.

Description:

Storybook is a HyperCard (1.2 or 2.x) stack which serves as a
tool for creating interactive stories similar to Amanda
Goodenough's "Inigo Gets Out" series. It can also be used
by HyperCard novices for creating interactive presentation
aids. The push-button interface lets you create and link pages
in your story using invisible buttons (positioned over drawings,
for interactive stories). You can also easily add special
sound and page-transition effects, text fields, etc without
knowledge of HyperCard scripting. Storybook has been tested
on children 6 yrs and up... Have fun! Freeware.

From: [e-mail] (janet e abbate)
Subject: tiff-window1.1.hqx

TIFFWindow is a shareware XCMD that displays TIFF image
files in a window under Hypercard. It understands 1, 2, 4, 8,
and 24-bit images, as well as compression. It computes
a custom palette when appropriate, so that, for instance,
24-bit images look good on 8-bit monitors. This version,
1.1, adds the ability to read CCITT Group 4 images, and a
more convenient zoom/pan interface.

TIFFWindow runs on any Mac that can run Hypercard 2,
though some features require Color QuickDraw, 32-bit
QuickDraw, or System 7.

Think C source is included.

TIME TALKER: this is a small stack that makes your Mac speak the time. Using a
digitized voice, it breaks the system time into chunks, then speaks them. You
can use this as a stand-alone stack, or use the code in your own stack. If you
like my voice, fine, or use your own voice, or teach it Swedish, or whatever.
$5 shareware.

From: [e-mail] (Olivier Cinquin: [e-mail])
Subject: TrueIdle!

This small freeware program makes HyperCard's "idle" handler work much better:
it is called anywhen (when the drawing tools are selected, when an external
window usually prevents it from beign called, ...), except when HyperCard is
executing a script.

This program has been compacted with Compact-Pro.

Subject: TurboMath Info

Dear Info-Mac,
     I am submitting a HyperCard external called TurboMath for posting to the
Info-Mac archive. TurboMath is an XFCN which evaluates mathematical expressions
on large sets of data at speeds that are much faster than the speed at which
HyperCard could evaluate the same expressions on the same data. The file I am
sending has been compacted into a non self extracting archive using Comnpact
Pro and binhexed using BinHex 4.0. I believe the file should go in the /card/x
directory. The file conatins only a HyperCard stack which has the TurboMath
resource in it. More information on TurboMath can be found within the stack.
If any problems arise, my current e-mail address is [e-mail].
edu. Thanks.

Victor Chavarria

#### BINHEX     universal-card-copier.hqx   ****

Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1993 14:45:00 -0400 (EDT)
From: kfl <[e-mail]>
Subject: Universal Card Copier

This is the first posting of the Universal Card Copier,
a HyperCard stack/utility that makes cutting and pasting cards
from one stack to another real easy.

You can copy a whole stack, only marked cards, or you can select
the cards you want from a list of card names/ids.  You can paste
them anywhere you want in the stack you are copying to.
(e.g. at the beginning, the end or at any point you specify)

WARNING/discalimer:  This is not the be-all, end-all of stack
merging utilities!  ALWAYS SAVE a copy of the stack you are
copying cards INTO BEFORE attempting to copy any cards into it.
This stack uses the HyperCard Menu commands of "Copy Card" and
"Paste Card" just as if you were doing it manually.  This may
or may not be what you want to do when you say you want to
"merge" two stacks.  If the stacks are dissimilar and you paste
a card(s) from one stack into the middle of a different stack,
you can break the stack you are copying to since hypercard will
create a new background in the middle of the stack and this may
cause some scripts to not work correctly.

This stack is freeware and may be distributed freely by any and
all non-profit groups.

Hope someone finds this useful...

Subject: HyperCard 2.1 Visual Effect Bug


Here is a script to detect whether HyperCard 2.1 will crash given certain
circumstances.

Those circumstances are:

     68030 machine
     Monochrome monitor
     Part of the card window in the off screen area

If all these are true then performing a visual effect will crash.

This function requires two externals from Apple's Support Tools Externals
stack, which can be found on developer CD's and on Apples Internet ftp
site.

Those externals are SysEnvironment() and MonitorConfig(). They are not
included.

Hi.

I'd actually submitted WindowsMenu to Sumex before Christmas, with abstract,
but I didn't see it appear, hence the resubmission.

Here's an abstract to go with the resubmission:
-----
WindowsMenu is an XCMD that installs a "Windows" menu to give you convenient
access to all windows currently open in HyperCard.

Subject: Zfinch 1.3

This is a stuffed and binhexed HyperCard stack originally designed to keep
detailed records of several hundred birds used in biological research,
their surgical histories and even multiple recordings of each bird's songs,
with sonograms (FFTs pasted from SoundEdit tm).  The stack and the scripts
therein may be easily converted to other purposes.

There are several good scripts that may be of interest to other
scriptwriters, namely customized searches of multiple stacks with multiple
search criteria, automatic updating of information present of several
different cards,  and some decent sound cut and paste management.

This is shareware/mailware.  Individual users please send me a postcard or
e-mail telling me what use you made of the stack.  Coporate or University
labs should contact me for a (cheap) site liscense.  Copyright 1992 by
