Here, we make a number of goodies available, useful for both colleagues and clients.
Sample Scripts Stack
The Sample Scripts Stack started as an attempt to collect and organize more than hundred small stacks, pictures and scripts. Eventually, we created a HyperCard stack which serves both as a database and demonstration software.
It was made public in 2003 and has been updated several times. The current version is known as Sample Scripts Stack 1.0.6.
Download the
Sample Scripts Stack (390K). If you don't have StuffIt, you can download
this zip file instead. This file requires HyperCard 2.4.1 and MacOS 7 or later. The stack and most of the scripts are compatible with Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, HyperCard will run in the Classic environment.
Since not every xTalk programmer uses HyperCard these days, we have made this stack available in PDF format.
You can download it
here (450K).
Most of the more than 250 scripts in the Sample Scripts Stack are fully functional and ready for use. A small number may need adjustment to local circumstances. Objects that are included in the script, such as clickable buttons and pictures, are not included in the PDF version. Please note that the FAQ in this stack is the original FAQ and not identical to the FAQ currently included in the
Pantechnicon.
Cocoon Emulator Wrapper
Cocoon is a wrapper for DosBox. Cocoon makes it easy to set up an emulator and to add additional DOS software. Although Cocoon supports disk images, you don't need to create or manipulate disk images to use DOS software. Cocoon includes an auto-install feature for the OpenGEM operating system.
You can find more information about Cocoon wrapper for DosBOX and downloadable files at the dedicated
Cocoon page.
Dragging Hand Cursor for Revolution
It is quite a bit of a hassle to create cursors in Revolution, because changing a bit in the image data may corrupt the mask data, while changing one pixel in the image data seems to be necessary to set the mask data correctly. Kind of a catch 22, one might say.
We created this hand for our own needs, but since a dragging hand is much needed by the Revolution community, we make this available for free.
If you use this hand, please mention Economy-x-Talk.com in the credits of your products. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. This stack may be freely distributed. Please, don't redistribute the hand image without this stack.
We make available a tiny stack containing an image of a dragging hand, which can be used as a cursor. This image is free for you to use. You can download the stack in sit format
here. If you need a file in zip format, download
this one.
Split & Recover
Split & Recover is a simple utility that performs two different tasks. It can split HyperCard stacks into two new stacks and it can recover data from corrupted
HyperCard stacks. The resulting files are compatible with HyperCard 2.3 and later,
Revolution, MetaCard, SuperCard, and DIFfersifier 3.0.1 and later.
