There are a number outilites which are supposed to make HC a more powerful development system. Heizer Software sells WindowIt and CompileIt. There are a couple of BASIC XCMD compilers and a DA script editor. I have started do a lots of programming in HC and would like to know whether these products are worth using. I'd appreciate any information on these or other related products. Thanks, Keith

It has 14 or 15 functions that can be applied to all objects selected from a dialog box. So basically, you invoke the script, choose the objects you want to work with (shift-clicking), and then choose the function you want applied to them, say, HIDE or SHOW or DELETE or MOVE TO BACKGROUND or CHANGE TEXT ATTRIBUTES (useful for buttons) or ALIGN OBJECTS one of the other functions. I can't say that I use it constantly, but every now and then it is incredibly useful because of all the time it takes to repeat actions in HyperCard. I haven't seen it go by in comp.binaries.mac yet though I wasn't watching for a week or so at one point. However, it is at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the hypercard directory under the name penguin_util.sit or something similar. --Adam -- Adam C.
