metacard - engine for mac

[Marielle Lange]

Dear all,

Came across the Yahoo page thanks to Google...
"The engine that drives the MC IDE is Runtime Revolution. The latest  
version is available at runrev.com. On OS X you need to copy the  
executable from the the Revolution bundle in Revolution.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/Revolution to MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard"

What version of RR??? No "Revolution to MetaCard.app" could be found  
in the bundle (show package content) of Revolution 2.0, 2.2, 2.5,  
2.6. Used the terminal to check out for hidden file, no success.

Okay, let's be a good user, let's run a search on the doc.

Okay, something interesting there: <http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/ 
metacard/2004-November/007903.html>

 >Controlclick "Revolution(.app)", doubleclick "Contents". Among others
 >there is a folder "MacOS" and a Terminal file "Revolution".
 >Copy that file "Terminal file Revolution" into the folder
 >"MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/" in your older copy of the MetaCard.app!
 >Then rename it to "MetaCard"

I get it!!! What I need to copy is "Revolution" not "Revolution to  
MetaCard.app". It's reassuring. I really did not understand why I  
should expect to find an application, and on top with such a strange  
name, inside the bundle :-/...

But then, is it still possible to find the metacard.app? Being a good  
user again, searching the web... no luck.

 >I can still offer to send you the "MetaCard.app" if you have trouble,
 >it's already ZIPped here and
 >awaiting its digital journey to Norway ;-)

Klaus, if it is still possible to obtain the file from you, yes,  
please send it to me.

I had a quick look at the toolbar (opening the mctools within a copy  
of the revolution.app). I wonder if you can use this: http:// 
www.everaldo.com/crystal.html. A very large collection of icons,  
including icons for all elements of an interface. My understanding is  
that it is free reuse "currently used on thousands of softwares and  
websites around the world."... but best is to check with the author.
