[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] more on HC as front end

nichols@citron.ucsb.edu (Timothy C. Nichols) (03/20/90)

Thanks for the response to my inquiry about HC as a front end to
a database.  But, I forgot to mention something... The database
must run on a Mac.  Now why would I want to use HC as a front-end
to a Mac database instead of the database itself?  We have a
large grant that explicitly mentions Hypercard.  Hypercard
can't handle the load or speed necessary (correct me if I'm wrong),
but we can still be ok if the engine is something powerful and
HC is the front end.

Again, mail me your suggestions/comments.  I'll post any
results.
