- Hello,
-
- We are in the process of writing some xcmds for hyperCard, running on
- system 7, with Hypercard 2.1. We have been using Think C 4.0.
-
- We have had several problems, especially in the area of i/o (fopen, etc.).
- The system hangs when when we attempt an fopen call, when executing as an
- XCMD within hypercard.
-
- Is it simply not ok to use stdio calls within Hypercard? I've heard this
- vaguely before, but didn't get the full explanantion. If so, are there any
- suggestions out there for opening a binary file within an XCMD?
-
- Is there a problem with using Think C 4.0 and system 7? We are aware that
- there is a new version of Think C (5.0). Might this help?
-
- Also, have the hypercard glue routines changed for HC 2.1? We down loaded the
- glue-routines from an ftp site at uc irvine under the Symantec directory. Is
- this the most uptodate set of glue routines? If not, where might we find
- the latest versions of these?
-
- Thanks
-
