Hi,
In my opinion, SuperCard is closer to HyperCard than anything else=20=20
available. Surely, it has its peculiarities, but Revolution has more.=20=20
It has a few bugs, but Revolution has more. Then again, it has lots of=20=20
features, but Revolution has more.
I like SuperCard for being simple, reliable and stable. I also like it=20=20
because it is very much Mac-like and because there are lots of useful=20=20
externals available for free. I have used SuperCard to use several=20=20
nice projects for clients of mine and always have lots of fun while=20=20
working with it, while I'm always very frustrated about Revolution,=20=20
where everything works more or less as expected but not quite. There=20=20
are also a few things that are simply impossible with SuperCard, such=20=20
as creating cross-platform software, which means that I still use=20=20
Revolution for the majority of my projects. Obviously, I don't mean=20=20
that everything is possible with Revolution. I believe both have their=20=20
advantages and disadvantages and I don't regret having paid for either=20=20
of them.
If you sent me an e-mail before 21 June and haven't got a reply yet,=20=20
please send me a reminder.

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...

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...
