- Hey, another quick question about AE's and HC here:
-
- So, if I should always make sure that the sender and reciever each have
- 32K free, and the reciever is HC, what is a good way
- to make sure 32K is free in hypercard? It seems to me
- I would have to make an XCMD that was called every idle to make sure
- enough memory is free in HC.
-
- Or is there a better way?
-
- Okay -- just loking at HC script language guide, and read about
- FreeSize. It says:
-
- "
- Use the FreeSize property to determine the amount of free space
- of the specified stack in bytes.
- ....
-
- The freeSize property can only be changed by choosing compact stack
- from the file menu.
-
- "
-
- So how can I make sure HC is able to accept my AE?
-
- I am posting this to comp.sys.mac.hypercard and
- mailing copies to d88-jwa@nada.kth.se and trap!frank@csn.org
- (frank vernon) and jpugh@apple.com
-
- Thank you all for your input -- you have been very helpful.
- If there is interest, I will compuend all the info I have learned on this
- new (to me) subject.
-
- Please email in return -- It is easier for me.
-
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
