- I would like to write a Hypercard stack that incorporates recording
- and playback of sounds on my Mac LC. I have some old Hypercard manuals
- that describe Hypercard 1.2. I glanced through a Hypercard 2.0 manual
- and couldn't find any built in capability of Hypercard for this.
- So my first thought was to add and XCMD to Hypercard using Think C.
- When I went to my Think C manual to find out how to do this, it referred
- me to an appendix to one of the Inside Mac books.
- To make a long story short, I would like to build this simple application
- without buying the whole Inside Mac set (about to be obsoleted anyway),
- plus the Hypercard Developers set (the Hypercard that came with the
- LC can be put into scripting mode trivially). Does anyone have any
- could example source code for a Hypercard XCMD?
- Any suggestions on the minimal expenditures to get enough information
- to write this application.
- BTW, I'm just writing a toy application for my kids at the moment and
- trying to learn a bit about programming a Mac at the same time.
- It sure is a lot different than programming a Unix box.
