- Before eating your Turkey, any ideas?
-
- We (a friend and I) are trying to do some higher level matrix mathematics in
- Hypercard, but using the lines and words of fields to simulate a matrix is
- tremendously slow. Creating a Pascal program would be simple, and would
- execute at a bearable rate.
-
- So, what we'd like to do is pass several parameters (from fields and radio
- buttons (hilite or not)) to a Pascal routine which, in turn, would do the
- computations and return a matrix of values. Some of the fields contain
- numbers while others contain character strings, and what is returned will
- consist of numbers and character strings as well. The fields and buttons are
- spread across different cards with different backgrounds.
-
- Any help is appreciated. Oh, we will be doing the Pascal programming in Think
- Pascal.
-
- Thanks for any help,
-
- -Dave and Jason.
