WELL Conference Stack

To use the import function, capture the transcript of a conference using your terminal program. It can be the whole thing or only the new messages. Make a separate transcript and copy of this stack for each conference you want to store, so that topic and response numbers won't conflict. Type your own header into the top field on the start card. The import function will create and fill in topic and response cards as necessary. Messages which have already been seen are skipped during import.Put the transcript into a plain text file stored in the root directory of the disc where HyperCard is launched. Go to the first card and click Import, then type the filename. Enjoy the light show! (If you don't put the transcript in the root, you must supply the FULL path when asked for the filename.) • Note to HyperTalk hackers: the main import script is at the stack level. There also interesting scripts attached to the topic and response content fields.
