Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>hypercard (more info?)

Hello,

Today, the first beta release of DIFfersifier 3.0 has been
completed. DIFfersifier is a conversion utility for HyperCard,
MetaCard and Revolution stacks. It converts stacks to a number
of different formats, including the Data Interchange Format,
Merge, tab-delimited text, and HTML tables. DIFfersifier 3.0b01
is available for MacOS Classic and Windows. The MacOS X version
will be available, very soon.

We need beta testers. If you have a few HyperCard, MetaCard or
Revolution stacks that you would like to convert into a
different format, e.g. to use them in database applications such
as FileMaker, 4D, or AppleWorks, just drop me a line. If you
would like to test DIFfersifier 3.0b01, you can download a copy.
The Macintosh PPC version is available at:

<http://home.wanadoo.nl/mark.sch/releases/dif/ppc/differsifierppc.sit>

and the Windows version is available at:

<http://home.wanadoo.nl/mark.sch/releases/dif/win/differsifierwin32.zip>

If you download one of these files, please, read the information
in the Read Me file, including the license, and the Note for
beta testers.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

I would like to convert some Hypercard stacks to stacks that
run on FileMaker on a PC rather than on a Mac. How would I go about this ?

Thanks

Hi Gunther,

If you are familiar with HyperTalk, you can write a script that
exports the data of your stack to a file. You can import that
file into FileMaker.

The PowerTools stack that comes with HyperCard also contains an
export tool.

If you don't want to write a script yourself while needing more
options, you could use DIFfersier. Simply dowload DIFfersifier
and unzip or unstuff the file. Open the application, click the
Select Stack button and choose the stack you want to convert.
Further explanations are in the built-in documentation, but I
think that the whole process is quite straightforward.

You didn't say whether you want to do the conversion on your PC
or on your Mac. If you want to do the conversion on your PC, you
need DIFfersifier 3.0. Currently, there is only a beta version
of DIFfersifier 3.0, but it seems to work well.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact me at
marksch ( a ) zonnet . nl.

Best regards,

Mark
