Metacard support

I guess this would seem logical due to the new ownership (if not out of 
respect for Revolution - it's their right).  But I have to wonder about 
all the people out there that have used HyperCard and SuperCard or 
XTalk and never heard of MetaCard.

I switched from HyperCard to SuperCard v1.5 when I saw the name (plus 
SC supported colour, BONUS!).  Then I moved to MetaCard v1 because I 
was working on an SGI (and I saw an engineer at the company using it, 
that's how I saw the name MetaCard and nearly died of joy), now I 
program in Flash because I need full browser support (and it has an exe 
and works on Linux and SGI so I'm covered).  I still use MetaCard 2.5 
to build my custom XML creation tool which feeds Flash it's data, but 
will move that to PHP in the near future.  I'm sure I'll be using MC 
2.5 for some time to come.

RIP MetaCard, you and I had a good ~11 year run together...

Sincerely,
Simon
