[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] data types in SuperCard 1.05

GFX@psuvm.psu.edu (07/04/90)

Hi!

I just received my SuperCard upgrade :) and was wondering what does the
laconic paragraph on datatypes really means from a scripting viewpoint.
On page 57 we learn that "SuperCard 1.05 now keeps numbers and the contents
of numeric variables as binary numbers..."  Does it mean that we can use
binary data files and load the data directly into numeric variables?  How?

I'd appreciate any (informed) feedback on this since most of the projects
I work on are data intensive.

Thanks.  Stephane
