ModuloPIVersion b3.0 of the alternative RTE for SuperCard 4 by Stéphane Leys. IMO much better than the RTE that ships with SC. Gets better with every beta too.

I just had my first Bad Checksum error from SC 4, fixed it with the old Set_Checksum-SC3 project. I had a quick google and couldn't find the Set_Checksum-SC3 project anywhere, so I uploaded it here:Other Folks Externals

I am trying to convert my flamethrower driven ScriptLib, which had a flash and a SuperCard Front end (read about it Flamethrower page ) to a php driven one, with hopefully a flash, SC and html front end.Not knowing any php is a wee bit of a limitation, but I got 'Teach Yourself php in 24 hours' for christmas and made a start New pp/html ScriptLib

LittleFish Roadster page updated.I spent a while poking round the SuperCard Classic Site and other places for recent Roadster info. It looks like Roadster/SC-Web plugin is gone. I can't find anywhere to download the plugin at Supercard.us or the old incwell ftp Site.
I updated my Roadster Links, as well, most of the roadster sites seem to have gone.
A pity.
I would love to hear any information on roadster at all.

ButtonizerQuote:
Buttonizer lets you add custom buttons to Apple's iDVD 2 program, so you can have complete control over the look of the onscreen menus on your DVDs. The program includes three new buttons for iDVD--Burst, Cloud and Splash--and can be used to extract copies of the standard buttons so you can customize them to your taste. Buttonizer is freeware, and runs under Mac OS 10.1 or later.

+ 0 - 0 | § ¶Shell in SuperCard
SuperCard 4 has the ability to run shell commands. I don't know much about this as I have little knowledge of unix yet, but here are a couple of wrinkles:SC dosen't have a 'persistant shell'
But you can sort of string shell commands together:
eg:
get shell ("cd /Applications;ls")
You can build a fairly long set of these commands, I don't know if there is a limit.
another possibly useful thing is to use the shell via applescript, where you can use sudo with a password
eg put:
do shell script "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*" password "myPassWord" with administrator privileges
in a var tScript and run it with
get script(do,AppleScript, tScript)
This would empty one of the trashes if myPassWord was my password.

I used to use an XCMD from Denis Birch for this, but of course it dosen't work in OSX this seems to:on textToClip pString
get script(do,AppleScript,merge( "set the clipboard to `[[pString]]`"))
end textToClip

setDockIcon.proj is a external by Bruce Martin to set the Dock Icon of your app.You need to be a member of the SC mail list with a Yahoo id to get the file from the list's file area.
The example proj exports the card picture and uses it as the dock icon. Very cool.

Spent a couple of hours messing up things with the shell function to try to find a way to archive files.This works, in that it does the job, but being unix the files lose both resource forks and the file and creator types. This tars and zips a folder, the file wil be in the same folder as the folder.
Obviously lots of improvments could be made.
function tarNZip pfolderPath, zipfilename
--zipfilename should end in .tgz ??
put "the POSIX path of ""E&pfolderPath"E into tScript
put script(do,AppleScript, tScript) into thePOSIXpath
put "cd ; tar cf - . | gzip > ../" into shellCommand
get merge(shellcommand)
end tarNzip

If you hover over an object with the alt-cmd keys down it of course lopens the script window.The new thing is that if you hold the shift key down too, you get to edit the userprops, neat.
I don't think this was in SC 3.6 but I might have missed it.
