It is possible to connect HyperCard stacks directly to MacHTTP (and
WebStar, I think) but this is probably not the best solution in the long
run.
The project on which I should spend much more time than I have involves
converting a hypermedia version of Ibsen's Peer Gynt from HyperCard +
extras to some kind of SGML or HyTime for storage purposes and either use
SGML-aware presentations software such us DynaWeb or define procedures for
extracting fixed HTML from the material.

Hi, Lorna.
Long time; no see. Actually, my Apple representative told me about a
year ago that Apple (or maybe a third party) was in the process of
creating such a plug-in. I'd love to see it, in order to put the old
Beowulf Workstation in all of its antequated glory on the web. So, I
reiterate your request: does anybody know anything?

I once spent a happy hour or six writing a Hypercard stack which would
dump the fields of a hypercard stack in an exportable ascii format,
using SGML tags (what a surprise) to identify each field on the
card. Of course that doesn't export much of the linking information,
though someone who knows more about hyperTalk than I do shouldn't have
much difficulty in doing that.

This is a followup question to the one in the last Humanist about converting
from Hypercard to WWW.
Has anyone thought through how to use the Web to do Hypercard/Toolbook-like
things, with Javascript perhaps, to approximately the same degree of
difficulty for the person who constructs them? I'm thinking of students who
could handle Hypercard but might have difficulty writing the Javascript
themselves, so would need some canned bits to plug into their pages.
Thanks.
