I have suddenly gotten the Hypercard bug (after ignoring it except as a glorified telephone directory) for over a year. I find that I am interested in writing XCMDs and XFNCs in THINK C. Looking through the book "Macintosh Programming Primer" which covers programming in THINK C, I note that he has about 14 pages of header files for LSC that are necessary to write these puppies. He claims that he got them from Symantech and generously offers to send them to you for the low, low price of only $24.95 + p/h. I am lazy, I am poor, and I am anxious to write these things. If anyone out on the net has access to these things and would consent to send them to me, or if they can point me to somewhere on say, Compu$erve where I can find them, I would be grateful. If I do lay hands on them, I will be more than happy to forwar them on to others. Send e-mail please. Also, if you have them and want to send them, drop me a line first to make sure i haven't gotten them already. advTHANKSance David

There is a version of the glue available from sumex (I forget the exact name, but it is something like hypercard/xcmd-xfcn-glue.hqx). With a small amount of hacking I was able to use it with Think C (except I didn't take the time to get the Extended call-back routines to compile). If there is enough interest, I can post the complete source of my XCMD to sumex or comp.mac.binaries (it would be in binhex format) so you can see how it was done. BTW, the XCMD copies one file to another, invoked by CopyFile <from-file>,<to-file> if the result is not empty then handleError --Mark
