Perhaps there is something wrong with your net connection. Haven't seen anything showing any understanding of the issues much less anything that could be considered an actual ``rebuttal'' from your site. > concept, because old-fashioned machines like those you use aren't capable of > this sort of stuff. I use Sun 4's and color Sun 3's (and I use them at times when I can get single-user response). Which is the one that you think is horribly old-fashioned and should be replaced by a Mac?

This fits in rather well with your reply to Greg Woods where you basically claim that the net is just a system of unix boxes connected to allow easy transfer of Mac software. > HyperCard is not a database.

What's this have to do with the discussion? It was a reply to the person who said that awk couldn't be used to manipulate stacks because Hypercard is interactive and event-driven. Of course, I didn't really expect you to be able to follow the posting considering the trouble you have deciphering the news group creation rules. Would love to chat more, but I see Clive Stewart just posted an article with REAL information, like proprietary software that has been written to allow Mac users to figure out what the heck is in those stack binaries and generate alternative representations that are more useful.
