Hello, everyone!

As some of you may know, Hugh Senior has been developing the Scripter's
Scrapbook for a number of years, with various versions that worked in
HyperCard, 
SuperCard and MetaCard/Revolution. It has always been a good utility for
keeping track of handlers, functions, tidbits of info, hints, tips, or
just development notes for a variety of languages.

A while back, I got involved with Hugh when I suggested some
enhancements to the Scripter's Scrapbook and to my delight, he started
implementing them. The 
two of us have been working on enhancing the product and have added
quite a few additional features that make Scripter's Scrapbook a real
powerhouse for 
managing your code and development notes.

Here's the breakdown of new features added in 3.1:

  - Links: You can attach hyperlinks to email, files, other scrapbook
entries and web resources

  - Categories: You can define you own categories and apply as many of
them as you like to each entry to help you manage your entries (ssBk
comes with a 
default set of categories you can use or modify to suit your needs)

  - Extended language classifications: Now supports 12 different
language classifications - MetaCard/Revolution, HyperCard, SuperCard,
Director, Flash, 
AppleScript, HTML, Macro, Visual Basic, Perl, JavaScript, and Other

  - 5 Platform classifications: MacOS, OS X, Windows, Unix and Internet

  - Embedded file attachments: Can attach and embed files inside the
Scrapbook that are associated with an entry or shared for all entries.
(Ever wanted to 
keep your custom "answer" dialog stack connected your custom code that
calls it? Now you can!)

  - Script Colorization: Supports the syntax of multiple languages!

  - Advanced Find: Makes it easier to locate your entries

  - Full export and import so you can share entries with others!

  - Memos: You can insert popup annotations that are included in your
web page exports, 'save as' and previews

  - Protected entries: Entries can be 'locked' to avoid unintentional
modification

  - History: Extended History management including full 4-way navigation

  - Preferences: Extended set-up options for advanced Users

  - Cross-Platform: The Scrapbook and backup files can be moved between
supported platforms

  - PlugIns: You can included direct access to your own files by sharing
the PlugIn architecture with the supplied plugins

  - Revolution plugin compatible

  - Online updates: One-click checking, so you'll never miss an update
of Scripter's Scrapbook

  and more!

The Scripter's Scrapbook is FREE and comes as an MC/Rev stack with an
optional standalone Player for use outside the MC/Rev IDE. You can
