Welcome Seth,

Just want to make sure that, if you get any direct replies, that I'm included
in the thread. Before FBII I wrote 40 or 50 XCMDs and XFCNs in HyperTalk and
then compiled them with a program named "CompileIt", but would be interested
in doing them in FB3, particularly if it can produce PowerPC or Fat XCMDs and
XFCNs - if there is such a critter. The ones I produced with CompileIt are
obviously 68k, since they were created in 1989 - 1992 time frame. And,
incidentally, are still working and used by my clients 8/5/52 with the latest
version of HyperCard, G3s and System 8.5; so it is a pretty sturdy concept.
The clients were using SE30s when they software was first created.

Since CompileIt, to my knowledge, has never released a PPC Version, this might
be a real good niche market for FB3.

TIA, Joe Wilkins
