- How do I count days in HyperCard?
-
- I'm writing a library management stack where a book is borrowed on one day and
- returned on another. If the book is overdue, I want the stack to bill the
- borrower for the appropriate amount based on the number of days the stack is
- late.
-
- This must be an easy problem to solve, but I can't quite crack it. Any advice
- or suggestions, especially direct by email would be welcome. I'll post the
- solution, and possibly the whole stack later if it works out.
-
- Thanks in advance,
