HyperCard Comes Back From the Dead to the Web (Barry Barber)

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi All,

In fact, after receiving an invitation to connect to your preregistred  
account (if you did alike me, some months ago), you will have to  
create a full active new account to be able to test the TileStack model.

So did i do.... and i went able to create a new test stack directly  
online but...

if the concept of TileStack is realy elegant, it's not so sure that it  
will become, before lots of hard work, a real useable "Hypercard n- 
tier web embbedable" platform.

If the front-end seems to display HC stacks in the web browser, the  
underlinked technology is not HC or MC or Rev based, alike HC/ 
appelevents WebSTAR3 linked cgis, LiveCard, SC Marionet cgis, MC/Rev  
cgis, the RevOnRockets, my own approach*, etc...  went or are.

If all the conceptual approach of TileStack is, in fact, AJAX  
dependant, this project is not realy on the road to become the next  
web-enabled "xtalk" based platform we need to get the first class  
alternative to Java and PHP our sweety RunRev team is working on...

Best Regards,
