HyperCard 2.3.3 is PPC native. If you need a visual basic stand-in(and more!), you should check out AppWare. The product has been bought from Novell by Network Multimedia, and is a great example of object oriented programming for non-programmers. In most cases, I find Appware, FaceSpan or HyperCard in combination with AppleScript can fill in for Visual Basic. JW -- John Warwick john_warwick@mindlink.bc.ca
