Are there some examples of Revolution-centred web projects that
Revolution users would consider really outstanding?

I am as die-hard a HC enthusiast as you could want. Resisted moving on forever. Or until a few months ago, anyway. Still use and program HC daily. Revolution...
... I have been using Hypercard at lot and have two stacks I am still using. One of them, I tried to convert. First to Supercard, which did not work at all....
Hi, In my opinion, SuperCard is closer to HyperCard than anything else available. Surely, it has its peculiarities, but Revolution has more. It has a few bugs,...
... Since my experience is the opposite, that it was much easier to migrate to Revolution than to Supercard, it is good that there are two choices, so that...
... One common reason for this is that the HC stack was not compacted before opening it in Rev. You need to compact twice in a row and then immediately close...
... Such things could be included in a migration manual from Hypercard. Neither Supercard nor Revolution seems to have any such manual. -- Jacob Palme...
Hi, I'm afraid my HC manuals are in storage somewhere and, needing to look something up, I was wondering if anyone knew of them being available as PDFs...
Also -- does anyone know when/what version of HC introduced sound channels? I'm looking at my Danny Goodman Handbook for 2.2 and there's no index entry for it...
... I've decided to release the source code for the PlayCommand Agent program that made playing HyperTalk note syntax using QuickTime possible. It's available...

Hi folks, ... Ya know ... I remember using the original manuals back in the late '80's. The first 'third party' manual I got was Danny Goodman's original 'The...
Hi Judy, Do you really need to knwo _when_ or do you also need to know _how_? set the soundChannel to 2 There are 8 sound channels. You can set them before...
Hi Mark, I need to know how, specifically, for someone who is seeking to replicate the behavior in Rev via a plugin/external. I have a vague recollection that...
... HC's note-playing ability preceded sound channels, so you don't have to set those if you only have one string of notes, it's all automatic. If you don't...
Thanks, Jacque! I think they were introduced in 2.3; Richmond found the manuals for 2.3 online and they reference the use of the sound channels. ... Perhaps...
Hi Judy, ... That's the key, I think. True, it can play 8 channels, but not at once, nor timed over top of one another. IOW, AIRC, I could never get HC to play...
