Livecode / Github

[Geoff Canyon]

So all this discussion reminded me that I wrote an export/import stack
some time ago. I definitely don't still have a copy on my computer, so I
went looking on the web:

geoff canyon livecode export -- nothing useful, maybe it was in the runrev
era?

geoff canyon runrev export -- no luck.

I remembered that I used XML formatting for the export. Something like XML
Geoff Canyon export did the trick.

21 years ago? What??

Then off to archive.org to find the actual file: mcripper.mc And... I'm
looking at my ancient history!

I'm curious to try it on a large stack and see how it does.
